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.

1. In Brutus' soliloquy in scene 1, what reasons does he give for killing Caesar? 2. Who proposes the murder of Marc Antony? Why
d1i1m1o1n [39]
1) Caesar's death is for the good of all. He has the potential to become dangerous and abuse his power. He tend to rule with his emotions rather than reason and it is thought that he will turn his back and forget the common people who elected him.

2) C<span>assius suggested the murder of Marc Antony. Brutus opposed it because Antony is not a threat and if they kill him it will look like they are very violent and motivated by jealousy.

3) Portia demanded to know what is going on. She wanted to know the secrets that Brutus is keeping that involves Caesar. She wanted to know the real reason why Brutus seem agitated and unsettled. 

4) Calphurnia begged Caesar not to the Senate House because of her dreams that predicted his death. Decius, on the otherhand, appealed to Caesar's vanity and urged him to go to the Senate and not subject himself to the fickle dreams of Calphurnia.</span>
