Question

dr. liv was filled with excitement and hope as she stepped onto the alien world. ned felt fear in the pit of his stomach as he followed her. how does the author describe the characters? distinguish emotions actions

Explanation:

The author describes Dr. Liv as having excitement and hope, and Ned as feeling fear. These are emotional states, so the author uses emotions to describe the characters. "Dialogue" would involve spoken words (not present), and "Actions" would involve what they do (here it's about feelings, not actions).

Answer:

Emotions
