Question

One of the most important ways that a reader learns about a character is from his/her style.

True
or
False


Judging a character for yourself, rather than relying on a narrator’s perceptions, is known as direct characterization.

True
or
False

Answer 1

The statements regarding how a reader learns about character from style alone and the definition of direct characterization are both false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is False. A reader learns about a character not only from his/her style but through actions, descriptions, dialogue, and how the character interacts with both the environment and other characters. The second statement is False as well. Direct characterization is when the author directly informs the reader about a character's traits, as opposed to judging a character for oneself, which would be more aligned with indirect characterization, where the reader infers traits from the character's behavior and dialogue.

Answer 2

First 1 is true the second one is false because the narrator's description on the character is direct characterization
