What best explains the type of characterization used in this passage

(i can't select because there is no options but, i will answer) using evidence effectively. most of the assignments you will do in university will ask you to make an argument, to take a stance, or to prove a hypothesis. the best way to do this is to research the topic, develop a thesis statement, hypothesis, or claim and then use evidence to support this claim.

this is what i put and it was correct

it's a way for authors to communicate with reader in this time period. books from the past can teach us about life.
