Answer

Sub - question 1

Brief Explanations:

To create engaging characters, they should be interesting (to attract readers), unique (to stand out), and believable (so readers can relate or accept them). "Far - fetched" makes characters unrealistic and "dull" makes them unappealing, so these should not be selected. So the correct options are the ones with "interesting", "unique", and "believable" checked.

Answer:

  • interesting (checked)
  • unique (should be checked)
  • believable (should be checked)
  • far fetched (not checked)
  • dull (not checked)

Sub - question 2

Brief Explanations:

In literature, "indirect" characterization is the method where a character's traits are revealed through their thoughts, words, actions, appearance, and other characters' reactions, as opposed to direct characterization which tells the reader directly about the character.

Answer:

indirect

Sub - question 3

Brief Explanations:

Indirect characterization is effective because it weaves character development into the story's action. It doesn't just tell the reader about the character but shows it while the story progresses. The option "It allows the writer to keep the story moving and reveal information about the characters at the same time" correctly explains this. The other options are incorrect: writing ease is not the main reason, direct characterization is the one that "tells" about the character, and indirect is not the most straightforward (direct is more straightforward).

Answer:

It allows the writer to keep the story moving and reveal information about the characters at the same time.
