What method of characterization does the following character description use?

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn’t thaw it one degree at Christmas. from:

Answer:

The author is intending the character to be mean, old, and snobby. He also hates Christmas

Step-by-step explanation:

He does this by comparing the character to other objects.

Wilscy owns a toy store. The number of toy trains sold (in thousands) from 2000 through 2005 can be modeled by M(x) = −0.5x3 + 2x2 − x + 9. The average cost per toy train (in dollars) can be modeled by N(x) = 0.3x + 7, where x represents the number of years since 2000. The total revenue Wilscy made by the sale of toy trains is the product of the number of toy trains sold and the average cost per toy train. Identify a polynomial P(x) that can be used to model the total revenue.

Options:
a: P(x) = −0.15x4 − 2.9x3 + 13.7x2 − 4.3x + 63
b: P(x) = −0.5x3 + 2x2 − 0.7x + 2
c: P(x) = −0.15x4 + 4.1x3 + 14.3x2 − 9.7x + 63
d: P(x) = −0.5x3 + 2x2 − 1.3x + 16
