Which excerpt from chapter 1 of Animal Farm is an example of direct characterization?
Answer
A
“The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal concealed in the straw.”
B
“Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance.”
C
“Clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down inside it and promptly fell asleep.”
D
“Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover; there she purred contentedly throughout Major's speech without listening to a word of what he was saying.”
