Question

A. • Susannah had hair of a beautiful red color that brought to mind warm fires on snowy nights.
B. • Brian breathed heavily as he waited for his interview to begin, and he soon noticed that his hands were shaking.
C. • As I rushed to take the last empty seat on the subway, a stranger grabbed it first and gave me a spiteful sneer.
D. • When the boy dropped his ice cream cone, with a wide smile, Naya immediately brought him a fresh one.

Answer 1

A. • Susannah had hair of a beautiful red color that brought to mind warm fires on snowy nights.

This option is an example of direct characterization because it explicitly describes a trait of Susannah (her hair color) rather than revealing it through actions or reactions.
