Answer 1

Correct answers:
- by having the character learn a lesson as the result of events in the narrative
- by combining a number of different narrative techniques, such as description and reflection

Brief explanation: a dynamic character changes internally because of events (learning, growth), and showing that change is most effective when the author uses multiple techniques (action, dialogue, inner thought, description, reflection) rather than relying only on suspense or only on external behavior.
