Question

which of the following is not a part of characterization? A. context clues B. descriptions C. direct statements D. setting

Answer 1

D. setting

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story. It’s a literary element of literature used in novels, short stories, plays, films, etc., and usually introduced during the exposition (beginning) of the story, along with the characters. And setting is not a part of characterization.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

D. Setting
If you want to describe someone why would you use setting? See? It is irrelevant so the answer is D.
Ex: A shy person at a party. Setting cannot be relevant because parties are usually for social butterflies. But in reality the person is shy. So setting does not help in characterization.
