Answer:
Some actors work as a waiter until their big break.
Explanation:
The sentence that contains an inappropriate shift in person is the last one. Instead of <em>a waiter,</em> we should say <em>waiters </em>(<em>Some actors work as waiters</em>...). <em>Actors </em>is a plural noun and it should be followed by a plural noun. Another thing that confirms this is the use of the plural possessive pronoun <em>their</em>.
The rest of the sentences are correct. In the first sentence, there is no dilemma. In the second sentence, we have the phrase <em>many people</em>, which requires a plural verb and plural possessive pronoun. These conditions are fulfilled. The third sentence is a bit tricky because of the correlative conjunction <em>neither... nor.</em> The verb and possessive pronoun should be in the singular form in this case (as <em>Dave</em> is a singular noun), and they are, which makes this sentence correct.
This is why the fourth option is the correct answer.
Answer:
The sentence that is an example of indirect characterization is:
D. I am quick to say thank you and return the favor if someone does something nice for me.
Explanation:
Options A through C use direct characterization. People are being described directly, explicitly, so to speak, through the use of adjectives - "frightened", "childish and immature", "surprised and overjoyed". However, letter D makes use of indirect characterization. Instead of using adjectives, the speaker is describing himself through his actions. When he says he thanks others and returns the favor, we can indirectly infer that he is grateful.
