The sentence that is an example of indirect characterization is:

"As David talked, Heather yawned and looked around to see who else had come to the party."

This sentence reveals Heather's disinterest in the conversation and the party itself through her actions (yawning and looking around), rather than directly stating her feelings or character traits.
