Question 5 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1
Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I am a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice...
Answer
A
direct characterization to describe what Squeaky is like.
B
direct characterization to describe what Raymond is like.
C
indirect characterization to show what Squeaky is like.
D
indirect characterization to show what Raymond is like.
Explanation
The passage reveals Squeaky’s personality through her own words and actions: she protects Raymond and says she would fight anyone who insults him. Since the reader infers what she is like from what she says, rather than being directly told a trait, this is indirect characterization of Squeaky. The passage is not describing Raymond’s personality.
