Read the passage from "Girl.”

Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry; don’t walk barehead in the hot sun; cook pumpkin fritters in very hot sweet oil; soak your little clothes right after you take them off; when buying cotton to make yourself a nice blouse, be sure that it doesn’t have gum on it, because that way it won’t hold up well after a wash; soak salt fish overnight before you cook it; is it true that you sing benna in Sunday School?

What type of characterization is evident in Girl’s recollection of her mother’s instructions?

indirect characterization, because Girl’s personality is revealed through the details she recalls

Explanation: The passage shows the character through her remembered instructions (dialogue, habits, and concerns) rather than directly telling the reader what she is like. The specifics (household rules, warnings, cultural details) imply traits and relationships without explicit description.
