Which description is an example of direct characterization?
Read this excerpt from "A Fable.”It was easy to see that these doubts were having an effect upon the animals, so the cat went off offended.

Then the animals assailed the donkey for spoiling what could possibly have been a pleasure to them, on a mere suspicion that the picture was not beautiful, without any evidence that such was the case. The donkey was not troubled; he was calm, and said there was one way to find out who was in the right, himself or the cat: he would go and look in that hole, and come back and tell what he found there. The animals felt relieved and grateful, and asked him to go at once—which he did.

Were you close to it?”"I saw it good and clear, O Hathi, King of Beasts.

Go, Baloo, look in the hole, and come and report.”
