Answer:

A.Direct Characterization

Step-by-step explanation:

When the narrator states facts about a character’s personality

Ex. “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well-mannered and did not disobey their mother.”

The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.” Both are “well-mannered.”

When an author uses direct characterization, the reader doesn’t have to do any “detective work”
