The description that is an example of direct characterization is C. Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.

Direct characterization is a literary device used by an author to describe the characters traits. The author, specifically describes the character with adjectives. He tells the reader, in a straight forward manner, what the character feels, fears or hopes. It is different from indirect characterization because in this one the author suggests the character's traits through dialogues or actions.

The correct option is C) “Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.” Direct characterization is a literary device in which the author describes the personality and physical traits of a character by using adjectives or phrases in a direct way.  

In the example C, the author directly indicates the character physical trait (petite frame) and compares it to her personality (larger-than-life personality).

The other options do not describe directly the personality or physical characteristics of characters.

Hello. You did not enter the necessary text to answer this question, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I can help by conceptualizing the elements you need to find in the text. That way I advise you to find your answer.

A prepositional phrase is a word set that has a preposition in evidence. These sentences are part of a sentence and have no meaning on their own, needing a complement to make sense. Prepositional phrases usually have a structure formed with preposition + object + adjectives or articles. An example of a prepositional phrase would be "She ran the marathon with pride on Saturday"

Nouns are words that give name to any possible being, object, feeling, or possible situation. This will be the easiest element to identify in your text. Ex: House, horse, joy, asphalt, table, dogs, etc.

Adjective is a word that gives characteristics to nouns, that is, that word expresses the characteristics of a certain thing. Ex: Intelligent, clear, thin, noisy, wet, melancholy.

Adverbial clauses are phrases that are inserted in a main sentence, acting as an adverbial adjunct to that phrase, that is, these clauses work as an adverb and therefore, modifying a verb. Ex: She past the test, because she study a lot.
