Direct

Indirect

She gave to charity

She is generous

Respuesta :

Answer:

Paolo is athletic -> direct

Paolo runs daily -> indirect

She gave to charity -> indirect

She is generous -> direct

Explanation:

The first is direct because the statement directly describes Paolo.

The second is indirect because it is describing Paolo's actions rather than just flat out saying that he's athletic. We have to assume that he is athletic based on his actions.

The third is indirect again because it describes actions.

The fourth is direct because it directly describes her.
