Question

“How could this have happened? What will you do? Oh, I am so worried for you,” Aunt Amrita said, her voice trembling as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Please, return the money and beg forgiveness. You don’t know what they are capable of. I don’t want you to get hurt. Please, just do as I say!” Through this passage, we learn that the aunt has a soft heart. Which of the following is true?
This is an example of using a story map.
This is an example of theme.
This is an example of indirect characterization.
This is an example of telling through description.

Answer 1

Since we learn that the aunt has a soft heart, I will say that 'this is an example of indirect characterization', because we learn of her characteristics in an indirect way, that is, we are not directly told that she has a soft heart, we can infer that information from this passage.
