The line of dialogue that best builds indirect characterization is: “The meeting was closed to the public,” noted Brianna. “Like everyone else, I’m suspicious and more than a little angry.”
This dialogue reveals Brianna's feelings about the closed meeting and hints at her personality traits, such as being observant, critical, and perhaps passionate about transparency and justice, without explicitly stating those traits.
