Question

Which words from the passage are a good example of direct characterization?

A:I lazily flipped through the pages of my textbook
B:Too bad I can’t be more like my brother
C:He is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist
D:I am much more likely to spend my time daydreaming

Answer 1

C.) He is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist is the correct answer because though all of the other choices can be used to describe a character indirectly, the use of the adjective "studious" and the descriptive noun "perfectionist" allows us to determine the character's personality without any implication or analysis needed.
