Answer 1

The two examples of direct characterization are:

1. "Oh. Hi, Shanto," she said, a shocked look on her face. She was surprised and not entirely happy to see him.
2. Anzia smiled at her audience as she stepped up to the podium. She was confident and ready for her speech.

Direct characterization explicitly describes a character's thoughts, feelings, or traits, which can be seen in these two sentences.
