Answer 1

The line of dialogue that might an author give to a character in a narrative to build indirect characterization is:

"You must forgive me," Sarah implored. "I still have not finished the book, and I need to borrow it one more week."

This dialogue reveals Sarah's desire to be polite and considerate, as well as suggesting she may be somewhat irresponsible in managing her time or commitments, without directly stating those traits.
