Answer:

The type of characterization used in the excerpt to reveal Claire's character is direct characterization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct characterization refers to the character that the author implicitly describes, especially in a straightforward manner.

From the excerpt, Claire is described in a direct manner by the author through her young age, dissatisfaction and annoyance at "everything Max did".
