a.

b.

c.

d.
the way an author describes or conveys a character’s traits

Characterization is the way an author describes or conveys a character’s traits, plus, the way in which a character changes over time, especially when conflicts arise.

I think that options D and B are both suitable in defining characterization.

Explanation:

In simple words, it’s a way through which a fictional character comes alive. This literary device helps the author to hand-build the personality of a character which unfolds gradually with the plot of the narrative.

It’s a step-by-step revelation of a particular character and at the end how other characters respond to its personality. For example, “Both the sisters were patient and well-mannered and always obeyed their mother.” Here, the writer is using this literary device to showcase the personalities of the two sisters.

for this case, we must find the number of deaths per day of the year 2015, in automobile accidents, knowing that 32,400 people died.

knowing that the year 2015 had 365 days we have the following division:

where "x" represents the number of deaths per day.

rounding off we have:

approximately, 89 people per day died in 2015

answer:

89 people per day

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
