Answer 2

a) Direct Characterization

Step-by-step explanation:

Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story through the description of their physical appearance, actions, gestures, behavior, interests, or dialogue. This characterization can be either direct or indirect. When it is direct, writers directly label a character as something (like "Montag is a funny man") or state their traits in a straightway, just as the narrator directly describes Montag's face and how his head turned.
