Answer and Explanation:
The paragraph to which this question refers is the following:
<em>He admitted, however, although with hesitation, that much of the peculiar gloom which thus afflicted him could be traced to a more natural and far more palpable origin—to the severe and long-continued illness—indeed to the evidently approaching dissolution—of a tenderly beloved sister, his sole companion for long years, his last and only relative on earth...</em>
<u>Even though what we have here is indirect speech - the narrator retelling Usher's words -, the author made sure to represent the way in which Usher himself was speaking. He was telling the narrator about his mental state and about a condition he believes he possesses (extreme sensory acuteness, according to him). </u><u>However, once Usher begins to reveal that this condition of his is related to his sister's disease and death, he seems to go out of breath. He interrupts himself, adding details in a hurried way, which is represented by the phrases enclosed by the dashes. Therefore, we can say the author structures these sentence in this way to show Usher's shortness of breath and rushed speech.</u>

Explanation:
<em>express the main idea in a clear and specific way</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.
<em>disseminate the contents to a wide audience</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.
<em>judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way</em> – <u>this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools</u> (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its <u>evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. </u>This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.
<em>communicate the information to a group of people</em> – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.

Answer:
The first choice.
Explanation:
When using indirect characterization, an author does not state direct facts about a person's character, but rather describes the personality through verbal actions and gestures.
Selma keeping her eyes glue to the ground tells us that she is somewhat timid. Knowing that she avoids eye contact completely, even when someone talks to her, lets us know that Selma is shy to an extreme and perhaps antisocial.
