Answer 2

Answer:

The author uses specific adjectives to tell readers about a character.

Explanation:

Characterization is the way a writer teaches us about what his or hers characters are like. There are two main different types of characterization:

• Direct characterization - using specific adjectives, the narrator or another character explicitly tells us about what a character is like. This can refer to what they look like or what they are like as a person.
• Indirect characterization - the reader has to figure out what a character is like on their own based on how the character is behaving. This includes their thoughts, actions, and interaction (speech, dialogue) with other characters.

So, the correct option is the second one.
