The idea
Everything known about Gradgrind after two chapters came from adjective choice, sentence repetition, and the family of metaphors used on him. No trait was asserted. That is the method this unit exists to teach, and it works on any prose passage the exam prints.
In practice
Adjectives, repetition, metaphor family.
Where people slip
Nothing was asserted directly.
