Answer:
B. Direct Characterization
Explanation:
Characterization is the description of the physical attributes, ways of thinking, and actions of a character in a story. Direct characterization is an explicit description of the personality of a character while Indirect characterization is a description of the character through his or her actions in the story.
The description is implied in this case, therefore, the reader reaches his or her conclusion about the character through his actions in the story. The description of Scylla in this text is a direct characterization because it explicitly states that Scylla is a monstrous person.
Answer:
The best advice is: a. Beware of overusing quotations because you may appear as if you have no ideas of your own.
Explanation:
If you use too many quotations, there is a risk of writing a paper that is a compilation of someonelse's work, and since the paper is yours it should include your own ideas backed up (if necessary) by the words of a relevant author. When teachers correct essays they are interested in seeing you in the paper, and not only other authors, because they have to give you a mark, they already know what Freud, Dessasure, Lacan, Einstein think.
Option B: not possible because you should never change what you include between inverted commas, these are there to show that you are writing someonelse's words, if you change them it would seem that your words are the author's words.
Option C: not possible because if you don't summarize or introduce a quotation with your own words, then your paper would be a comilation of someonelse's words. Of course, you should always be clever about what information is better to write with your own words and which one not.
Option D: not possible because it would be impossible to write a paper without quotes; quotations from other authors give reliability and credibility to your work.
