Question

Answer 1

The best answer is:

Millicent has not always been popular.

Answer 2

Answer:

Millicent has not always been popular.

Explanation:

Indirect characterization refers to the process by which the author reveals the traits of characters through their speech, appearances, and actions contrary to direct characterization where the author directly states the traits of the characters. Indirect characterization leaves the decision onto the readers to form an opinion of their own about a particular character while direct characterization offers a pre-formed opinion to the audience. Thus, the option that reflects indirect characterization is the last as it does tell that Millicent lacks popularity or she has not been noticed or liked by people.
