Answer:

This excerpt is an example of direct characterization because A. the author openly states a character's traits.

Explanation:

After reading the excerpt, we know that the character is a woman who is wise and experienced and who knows what's best for herself and for children. The reason why we have that knowledge is the fact that the author told us these traits directly. We did not have to guess them through the character's own deeds, words, or thoughts - indirect characterization. It was the narrator's own description of her that fed us this information.

Direct characterization is, thus, an explicit characterization. It is the author telling us what the character is like through the narrator or another character.

If you are looking for the entry boasted in the dictionary, which guide words could you find at the top of the page?
nexus9112 [7]
Well it depends on how large the pages are, and how large the printing is. Guide words are the words at the top of the left and right pages that indicate what the first and last word is. For example on the first page (the left) it would have the very first word on that page up top. Then on the second it would have the very last word. So like I said, it depends on how large the print and pages are.
