Question 11 • *NBHS FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 A

Which sentence from "Return Flight" is an example of indirect characterization?

Answer
A
He narrowed his eyes and bristled.
B
Then, Maggie showed up.
C
"The X-ray shows a fracture in the left wing."
D
"Those folks from the wildlife center should be here soon."

Explanation

Indirect characterization reveals what a character is like through actions, reactions, or words rather than stating the trait directly. “He narrowed his eyes and bristled” shows the character’s reaction and suggests anger or defensiveness, so the reader infers his feelings. The other choices mainly introduce a character or provide information through dialogue.
