Explanation:

1. Flowchart proofs use boxes and arrows to show the logical flow of statements and reasons, so the primary visual characteristic is boxes and arrows.
2. In a geometric proof layout, the final element is usually the conclusion which is what is being proven.
3. A paragraph proof uses a narrative - style integrating statements and reasons in a paragraph.
4. Flowchart proofs are helpful for visual learners due to their visual and sequential nature.
5. In an indirect proof, if the assumption leads to a contradiction, the original statement is true.
6. A paragraph proof presents a written explanation or essay of the proof.

Answer:

1. C. boxes and arrows
2. A. The conclusion
3. C. Paragraph proof
4. B. Flowchart proof
5. C. The original statement is true
6. C. A written explanation or essay
