Read the following excerpt from "The Cabuliwallah" and use it to answer questions 7 - 9. Question 1 7. Mini, my five year daughter, cannot live without chattering. I really believe that in all her life she has not wasted one minute in silence. Her mother is often vexed at this and would stop her prattle, but I do not. To see Mini quiet is unnatural and I cannot bear it for too long. Because of this, our conversations are always lively. 8. Is this direct or indirect characterization?(3 points) Responses Direct characterization Direct characterization Indirect characterization

Answer 1

Direct characterization - The narrator directly states that Mini cannot live without chattering and has not wasted one minute in silence in her life.
