Read the passage from Initiation.
Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had broken on her head as she knelt blindfolded at the sorority altar a short while before. There had been a silence, a slight crunching sound, and then she had felt the cold, slimy egg-white flattening and spreading on her head and sliding down her neck. She had heard someone smothering a laugh. It was all part of the ceremony.
What technique does the author use to describe Millicent in this scene?
indirect characterization to describe how Millicent appears
indirect characterization to describe what Millicent is feeling physically
direct characterization to describe how Millicent appears
direct characterization to describe how Millicent is feeling emotionally

indirect characterization to describe what Millicent is feeling physically
The passage shows her sensations and actions (stiff, sticky hair; cold, slimy egg-white; brushing back a strand) instead of directly telling the reader about her traits or emotions.
