Hello. You did not enter the answer options, which does not allow it to be answered accurately. In that case, I will show you the meanings of direct intervention and subtle exhortation and give you examples that can help you find the correct answer. I hope it helps.
Direct intervention refers to the ability to prevent certain things from happening, or to objectively influence those things to happen. In other words, we can say that direct intervention refers to the fact that a person or institution that has some authority makes it clear what he wants or does not want in a given situation. An example of this is:
"Before I left the house, my mother stated that the clothes I was wearing were not appropriate and that I should change to a more discreet one."
Subtle exhortation, on the other hand, refers to a suggestion that is given in a timely and direct manner, given by someone influential. An example of this can be seen in the sentence:
"Jessus advised the young man to sell everything he had and follow him, although the man did not accept the council because this exhortation was very difficult to comply with."
