Question 8 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which sentence from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” contains direct characterization?

Answer
A
His father’s words, like the distant thunder that now echoed through the streets of Harlem, still rumbled softly in his ears.
B
His father had been a postal worker for all Greg’s life, and was proud of it, often telling Greg how hard he had worked to pass the test.
C
He sat a while, watching the sign blink first green then red, allowing his mind to drift to the Scorpions, then to his father.
D
He tried to figure out just where the breathing was coming from; he knew it was in the room with him.

Explanation

Direct characterization tells the reader about a character through an explicit description. Choice B directly states that Greg’s father had been a postal worker and was proud of his work. The other sentences describe Greg’s thoughts, actions, or perceptions rather than directly characterizing someone.
