Answer 1

The character Harvey Smith from 'Accidental Hero' by Zadie Smith is not described using the character traits provided in the question; the text instead highlights the lack of diverse representation in media for Black Americans. option d is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the references provided and evidence from the text, Harvey Smith from 'Accidental Hero' by Zadie Smith is not directly described.

Zadie Smith uses ethos to present Harvey Smith as a person familiar with the struggle against discrimination but doesn't provide specific attributes associated with Harvey Smith's character, such as being kind, considerate, brave, fearless, ambitious, or determined.

Instead, the focus of the text seems to be on a broader reflection upon the lack of multifaceted representation for Black Americans in culture and media, pointing out the emotional 'poverty' that comes from a lack of diversity in stories that reflect their experiences. From the available text, it is not possible to categorically select one of the provided character traits for Harvey Smith.
