The correct answer is C. He is lazy

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the narrator provides details and information related to a character called Rip Van Winkle this includes details such as "who take the world easy" that show Rip Van Winkle is mainly a relax person, but besides this the narrator states "would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound", that suggest Rip Van Winkle is not only someone that does not want any trouble but he does not like to work or make any effort which shows Rip Van Winkle is mainly idle or lazy. Therefore, the feature that can be inferred of this character based on the description is that he is lazy.

What are the direct causes of World War 1 and 2?

World War I: Nationalistic Bosnian assassians, supplied by the Serbian terrorist orginization Black Hand tried to kill Austrian Archeduke Frand Ferdinand, a few countries started arguing... and eventually it was everyone pointing fingers and saying "i'm gonna fight you because you fought my friend".

World War II: Germany was blamed for WWI, and world leaders came together to decide what to do, and decided to severly punish Germany. Once Germany learned of it's punishments and how it affected the country Germans/Germany became furious. One artist, who we know as Adolf Hitler, came up and said he could easily change the problems facing the Weimer Republic (Germany of the time). During this time, radicals could easily gain support because of how much people wanted change, and one such party that was active in this time was the Nazi Party. Hitler worked his way to become leader of the Nazi Party, and after tried to turn his reign into a dictatorship. He failed a coup and the successfully got to the top (meaning he could do what he likes) through legit means. After Hitler became a big fascist leader, he linked up with other fascists and everyone was basically waiting for Germany to make a move because world tension was super high.
