Answer:

C. Uncle John was one of the people in charge of the family.

Explanation:

Direct characterization is a literary device consisting of making direct statements about a character's personality, interests, motif, or physical appearance instead of revealing their traits through indirect means such as dialogue and description of behavior.

Unlike the other options, Option C indicates a true direct characterization about Uncle John (Option A, B and D make false statements about John): The author tells us that John is one of the natural rulers of the family, and one of the heads of the family, so “he had to govern.”

Answer:

Cause/effect is the text structure type

Explanation:

The author is telling why people have started running as a sport a lot more. To know this, you can just say because this happened, this happened. Because people wanted to save money, they stopped going to gyms and started doing a cheap sport. The author develops the ideas by using the text structure by giving many reasons why people should/would start running as a sport. The 3rd sentence is a good example of the author telling why people would run. Hope this helps :)
