This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
When an author uses actions, thoughts, and speech to show the reader who a character is, the author is using
A. Conflict
B. Direct characterization
C. Indirect characterization
D. Resolution
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Indirect characterization
.
Explanation:
When we read a story, there is a chance that the author who wrote it wants us to realize for ourselves how a character is without explicitly telling us. This is called indirect characterization.
Here, <u>the author will develop a character showing his way of thinking, his way of acting and his way of relating to the other characters</u>. In this way we readers will be able to judge for ourselves what kind of character it is.
Let's also remember that a<u> direct characterization</u> is when the author explicitly says what a character is like, and we do not have to guess or interpret it.
Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is option C.
