Question 4 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which excerpt from "The Catch” contains an example of direct characterization?

Answer
A
“You should have tied him up,” Rohan said, as the two of them tried to catch their breath.
B
As young Rohan stretched his long muscular legs one last time, he looked around.
C
As they waited for morning, Rohan felt that things would never be the same again.
D
Deciding that trailing behind an elf was unacceptable, Ethane tried to trip Rohan on several occasions.

Explanation

Direct characterization tells the reader about a character through an explicit description. Choice B directly describes Rohan as having “long muscular legs.” The other choices show what characters say, feel, or do, which reveals character indirectly.
