Characters in Fables

Question 7 • Common Core ELA 7 B-IC

Which description is an example of indirect characterization?

Answer
A
Ever since she was a young girl, she has possessed confidence.
B
She is self-assured in all her pursuits, never doubting her ability.
C
She greets adults with direct eye contact and a firm handshake.
D
It is her poise that attracts attention and impresses her teachers.

Explanation

Indirect characterization reveals a character’s traits through actions, speech, or behavior instead of stating the traits directly. Greeting adults with direct eye contact and a firm handshake shows confidence through what she does, so C is the example. The other choices directly describe her confidence or poise.
