To answer the question about how Ana is characterized, you'll want to look for clues in the options provided. If the text uses indirect characterization, it means that her traits are revealed through her actions, thoughts, or dialogue rather than being explicitly stated. Conversely, direct characterization provides clear descriptions of her traits.
Based on the options:
- Indirect characterization shows readers Ana is an irritable person who cannot afford to upset Nier.
- Direct characterization tells readers Ana is a patient character who is acting wisely.
- Direct characterization tells readers Ana is an irritable person who cannot afford to upset Nier.
- Indirect characterization shows readers Ana is a patient character who is acting wisely.
If the excerpt suggests that Ana is characterized implicitly (through her behavior or reactions), then options that mention "indirect characterization" would be appropriate. If the characteristics are stated plainly, you would choose options indicating "direct characterization."
Without the actual excerpt, I cannot definitively choose the best answer, but you should look for whether the text describes Ana’s traits directly or indirectly. If the excerpt suggests she is acting wisely and is patient, the correct choice would relate to that. If it indicates that she is irritable and the reasoning behind that is implied through her actions or circumstances, then the indirect characterization options would apply.
Please analyze the excerpt with these points in mind to select the best response!
