Indirect characterization is B) implied by the author The underlined option is correct.
The writer creates a character indirectly because the reader will infer the character's characteristics through different devices. These devices can be: the character's actions; the character's reactions; the character's thoughts ; and the character's different conversations. Therefore, these are all clues the reader will put together to infer what the character is like.
These options are not right:
A)not used ( Whether the author uses it or does not use it ,this decision will not define implicit characterization).
C)directly given ( If it is implicit is not direct but indirect characterization).
D)justified ( The author 's justification of the way a character behaves is not related to implicit characterization. )
