What would make people believe these statements

the tariff was created to protect industry in the northern part of the united states. industries in the north were being driven out of business by imported goods that were priced at a low rate. the goal was to protect these industries   by taxing the goods.

i'm guessing that you meant these options:

1. through the character's own words

2. through what other characters say

3. through narration about the character

4. through the actions the character takes

5. through the way others behave toward the character

if these were the options, the answer would be numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5
