Answer:
The statement which best describes the use of characterization in this excerpt is:
Anton is directly characterized as kind.
Explanation:
<em>Anton was kind enough to divide it for them. </em>
<u>In the line above, the narrator of the story is telling us that Anton is kind, and that is a perfect example of direct characterization.</u>
<u>Direct characterization happens when the author openly states a character's traits. The opposite would be indirect characterization, which happens when the author uses dialogues, actions, thoughts, and descriptions to tell us about the character. In this case, we have to infer the traits, since they are not explicitly told.</u>
Having that in mind, we can easily say that, in the passage, Anton is directly characterized as kind.
