Answer:

Based on the study of Nellie Bly's life, we can say that she was a dedicated journalist and committed to the truth, in addition to being an honest, hardworking and valiant person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nellie Bly was a journalist known mainly for having done exemplary work on the situation of asylums in the country. Nellie even pretended to have mental problems, to issue a first-hand account of how these institutions were harmful to patients and how abuse cases were frequent. This shows that Nellie was very dedicated to journalism and that she was willing to make investigations, even if dangerous to promote the true and correct message.

Nellie had a humble life, which greatly influenced her personality and made her a hardworking, courageous, honest and true woman.
