Question

Which of the following is an example of indirect characterization?  

Answer 1

I think and B and D is. But if can choose only one D would be better

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Joe pulled the brim of his hat low over his eyes as he settled back against the tree. He looked out over his fields. “That plowing can wait a day or two,” he thought and closed his eyes for a midday nap.

Explanation:

In literature, the characterization is the way the author of a text reveals the personality and traits of characters. Additionally, this can be classified into direct characterization if the author uses descriptions or indirect characterization if instead of describing directly the personality and traits of a character the author presents the actions and words of the character and this suggests the personality of a character. Considering this, the one that is an example of indirect characterization is option D, because this presents actions and words of Joe that suggest he does not like to work or is lazy and it is the only option that does not directly describe his personality and therefore an example of indirect characterization.
