The correct answer is D. "In fact, he declared it was of no use to work on his farm; it was the most pestilent little piece of ground in the whole country..."

Explanation:

Indirect characterization refers to showing the traits of a character including personality, appearance, values, etc. through the character's actions, words, and decisions. This is the opposite of direct characterization in which the character is directly described.

Option D is an example of indirect characterization because by showing the action of the character " he declared it was of no use to work on his farm" the reader can know this character is lazy or does not like to work, which means the narrator uses the actions of the character to show how the character is.

What's the difference between telling your own story vs. someone else telling it? In a paragraph please
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The difference between you telling your story is that first of all it is in first person perspective. If someone else tells it, they will say it in third person perspective. Another difference is that if you tell your own story, then you can share your feelings on it. If someone else tells your story, they will not be able to communicate your feelings. Additionally, if you tell your own story, then you can easily be able to write your story. On the other hand, if someone else writes/tells your story, they will not be able to include all the details.
