This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read this sentence:

Twisting her braid between her fingers, Marcy jumped whenever anyone entered the room.

What method of characterization does the sentence use to describe the character?

A. thoughts

B. dialogue

C. action

D. appearance

Answer:

The method of characterization used in the sentence is:

C. action.

Explanation:

There are several ways an author can choose to show us something about a character's feelings, state of mind, or qualities. Those ways are called methods of characterization.

<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the author uses action to show that Marcy is scared of nervous about something. The fact that she is twisting her braid and jumping so easily whenever anyone comes in is a typical sign of nervousness. Notice that we do not know what Marcy is thinking about. She is not talking to anyone, so there is no dialogue. And, we not know what she looks like at this moment - if she looks pale, or tired, for example. The only possible answer is, indeed, letter C. action.</u>

Which statements are true about "evidence"? select all that appy observations which answer questions proof that an idea is true
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

based on the info that you have provided:

evidence - proof, confirmation, verification are all synonyms.  

Explanation:

observations which answer questions - this would have to have been proved with empirical evidence - data evidence that has been proven more than one time. I would not choose this answer.

proof that an idea is true - i would choose this answer due to the wording of "proof"

information for or against an idea - this could be someone's opinion and not have valid data to prove.  notice that "proof" is not in this answer. I would not choose this answer.

data - this would be empirical info and I would choose this as an answer.

I hope this helps.

Which element of Miranda's character is best illustrated by this excerpt?If by your art, my dearest father, you havePut the wild
kicyunya [14]
The above speech makes a key element of Miranda's character clear.

In The Tempest, Miranda is a sheltered character who has not had much interaction with the world. Her interactions are limited mainly to her father and Caliban. Therefore it might be expected that Miranda is sheltered and even cold and unfeeling. It would not be surprising if Miranda were to look upon the storm (and the ship being tossed about at sea) and find it only interesting, nothing more. Her reaction, however, is quite different.

Instead, this speech proves Miranda is not cold and unfeeling. She begins by saying, "If by your art, my dearest father, you have Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them." She suspects her father may have played a part in the storm, and she begs him to calm the seas so that those at sea might be saved.

She goes even further, however, than showing concern for those at sea. She goes so far as to say, "O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer." Although she is safe on land, she knows that those at sea are suffering, and she suffers along with them. This proves Miranda is capable of empathy  feels for others. She feels that the boat likely had a good person ("noble creature") on board, and she fears the storm has killed someone. She worries about the safety of others and begs her father to do what he can to calm the sea.

As a result, this excerpt best illustrates Miranda's sympathy for others. It proves she is a caring, compassionate, merciful person.
