The leader gives a sense of direction.
C
The leader rules with absolute authority.

E
The leader is respectful of the freedoms of citizens.

Explanation

A totalitarian leader seeks extensive control over the state and society, so ruling with absolute authority is typical. Such a leader may also be portrayed as wise and charismatic, provide a strong sense of direction, and build public support for their policies. Respecting citizens’ freedoms is not typical of totalitarian rule, which restricts individual rights.
