Question

an author wrote, "detective simon levant had the unconscious habit of caressing his moustache while looking over the crime scene evidence." what fiction element does this sentence represent?

Answer 1

Character(ization)

There are six basic types of fiction elements. The six different types are symbolism, plot, point of view, setting, character, and conflict. When we look at the sentence in the excerpt you provided, what we see is that the author is describing a character’s traits. This type of description is known as direct characterization—where the author blatantly tells readers about his or her character thereby eliminating the need for readers to piece together fragments of information based upon what the character does and says.

Answer 2

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C.Character." It couldn't be A because it isn't a part of the story. It couldn't be B because it isn't a problem. It lastly couldn't be D because it's not a message the author is trying to convey to the reader.

Here are the following choices:
A.plot
B.Conflict
C.Character
D.Theme
