I don’t feel the “,” is needed in this sentence. So I assume this is not a correct sentence.
This probably means that the choice is yours. Your the author of the script of your life because you get to write your own story and make your own choices. Your the captain of your ship for the same thing. You sail wherever you want to lead your life too/
The correct answer is A, 'analyze'. When you analyze a character's actions, you are examining them and attempting to understand them. Answer choice B is incorrect, because gathering details about a character's actions does not necessarily mean that you understand them. Answer choices C and D are incorrect because they are part of the writing process, and when you examine a character's actions, you are typically reading.
Hope this helps!
