A. indirect characterization
B. direct characterization

Answer 1

the answer is (B) direct characterization

Answer 2

A. Indirect characterization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct characterization occurs when an author describes what a character is like. The author, therefore, does not let the reader figure this out by himself. On the other hand, when using indirect characterization, the author tells us how the character acts, thinks or feels in order for us to understand his or her personality.
