Answer: indirectly, through his lack of action.

We are therefore introduced to Jim's character indirectly through Della's eyes as she analyses his lack of action.

<em>d. "beautiful"</em>.- <em>more beautiful, most beautiful.</em>

I think that Kirsten is more beautiful than Angelina. But Keira is the most beautiful of all.

For me, I think Ibrahimovic looks more beautiful than Robben but Pique is the most beautiful of the three.

Explanation:

The first thing to do before you start looking at resources would be to identify which sources of information are the most relevant ones. There are several factors to take into account. The sources have to be reliable, and the studies they describe need to have been conducted in a scientific, systematic way. The sources also need to discuss the issues that you want to address.
