Which of the following is an example of indirect characterization?

Rashid [163]

You didn't give me any possible answers to work with, so I'm just going to explain indirect characterization and give an example...

Indirect characterization is the process through which traits of a character are revealed through their speech, actions, appearance, etc. These traits are not directly given by the narrator.

Example of indirect characterization:

As Mindy waited for her friend, Charlotte, by her locker, she tapped her foot quickly and glanced around.

This indirectly shows that Mindy is impatient.^^^

What are the rules in forming irregular nouns

ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Irregular plural nouns are nouns that do not become plural by adding -s or -es, as most nouns in the English language do. You're probably familiar with many of these already. For example, the plural form of man is men, not mans. The plural form of woman is women, not womans.
