The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves. —"The Gift of the Magi," O. Henry Use the drop-down menus to identify the examples of characterization as direct or indirect. “He looked thin and very serious.” “He was only twenty-two.” “He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.”

Answer:

direct , direct, indirect

Explanation:

“He looked thin and very serious.” is a direct characterization, “He was only twenty-two.” is also direct characterization. While “He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.” is indirect characterization.

Characterization is the process by which an author or actor describes or depicts what a character is like.

Characterization refers to the techniques a writer employs to reveal to readers a character's values, feelings, goals, and so on. When revealing a character's traits, a writer can use either direct or indirect characterization.

Direct characterization, also known as explicit characterization, describes the character through their physical appearance, line of work, or interests and hobbies. Characters are described indirectly through their thoughts, actions, speech, and dialogue.

"He looked thin and solemn." is a direct characterization; "He was only twenty-two." is another direct characterization. "He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves," on the other hand, is an indirect characterization.

Thus, the given two statements are direct and last one is indirect characterization.

What evidence supports the inference that George Stephenson’s development of the steam engine was made possible by the inventions of James Watt?


The Steam Engine


Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel. Watt made it a quick, powerful, and efficient engine, requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before. Under his first patent, the engine was still used only as a steam pump, but his later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery of all kinds. The commercial success of his engine was soon fully established.

George Stephenson further modified Boulton and Watt Company's creation. Stephenson initiated the use of steam for carrying passengers and goods. In September 1825, the first train passed over the road. It consisted of thirty-four cars weighing, all told, ninety tons. The train was pulled by Stephenson's engine, operated by Stephenson himself, with a signalman riding on horseback in advance. The train moved off at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and on certain parts of the road it reached a speed of fifteen miles per hour. The trial was a complete success.


Choices:

- Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel.

- Under his first patent, the engine was still used only as a steam pump, but his later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery of all kinds.

- Stephenson initiated the use of steam for carrying passengers and goods.
