B. The author uses specific adjectives to tell readers about a character.

C. The author describes a person's actions to tell readers about a character.

D. The author uses dialogue and speech to tell readers about a character

Answer 1

pretty sure its B, because direct characterization is when the author describes the character personality  

Answer 2

Answer: B. The author uses specific adjectives to tell readers about a character.

The right answer is option B. Direct characterization describes a situation in which an author tells us about a character by using specific adjectives. For example, we learn that a character is kind because the author tells us that he is. Indirect characterization, on the other hand, occurs when an author describes the thoughts, behaviour, and conversations of the character and we learn about the character through these. In this case, we might learn that a character is kind because he tries to help people in need.
