The sentence that serves as an example of indirect characterization is "He narrowed his eyes and bristled." Indirect characterization reveals a character's traits through their actions, thoughts, or feelings, rather than directly stating what kind of person they are. In this case, the action of narrowing his eyes and bristling suggests tension or anger, allowing readers to infer aspects of his personality.
