I don't have the excerpt you mention, so I can't pick the correct option yet. Please paste the excerpt (or summarize the lines about Ana), and I'll choose and explain.
Quick guide to decide yourself:
- Direct characterization = the narrator or another character explicitly tells you a trait (“Ana was patient,” “Ana was irritable”).
- Indirect characterization = you infer the trait from Ana’s actions, speech, thoughts, appearance, or how others react to her.
How that maps to the choices:
- If the text explicitly states Ana is patient/irritable → choose one of the “Direct characterization” options.
- If the text shows her waiting calmly, making thoughtful choices, speaking kindly → “Indirect characterization shows Ana is a patient character who is acting wisely.”
- If the text shows her snapping, fretting about Nier’s reaction, or trying to avoid upsetting him → “Indirect characterization shows Ana is an irritable person who cannot afford to upset Nier.”
