Question 9 • M/J Language Arts 3 Advanced

Which sentence gives the best description of indirect characterization?

Answer
A
The author uses a person’s thoughts and words to tell readers about a character.
B
The author describes a person’s physical traits to tell readers about a character.
C
The author describes his or her family to tell readers about a character.
D
The author uses specific verbs and adjectives to tell readers about a character.

Explanation

Indirect characterization reveals a character through clues such as their actions, thoughts, words, and interactions, rather than simply stating what they are like. Choice A describes using a character’s thoughts and words to help readers understand them. Choice B focuses only on physical description, which does not by itself give the best description of indirect characterization.
