Indirect characterization uses textual evidence to help readers make inferences about a character. C. Indirect characterization happens when the narrator provides specific information about a character. D. Indirect characterization uses exploration of the words and thoughts of characters.

Answer 1

The statement which is false is C. Indirect characterization happens when the narrator provides specific information about a character, as when using indirect characterization the narrator never gives specific information about the character, it's the reader who needs to get this information by the description of his behavior, way of thinking... This would be a true statement, if it was about direct characterization.
