To determine which of these options is an example of direct characterization, we need to understand what direct characterization means. Direct characterization is when the author explicitly provides information about a character's traits, such as their appearance, personality, or behavior.
Option A states that actions or thoughts that reveal what a character is like are an example of direct characterization. This is correct because when an author shows a character's actions or thoughts, they are directly revealing information about that character's traits.
Option B mentions dialogue between a character and other characters in the story. While dialogue can provide insight into a character's personality, it is not considered direct characterization. Dialogue is classified as indirect characterization because it allows readers to infer information about a character's traits based on how they speak, but it is not the author directly stating those traits.
Option C states that an author's description of a character's appearance and personality is an example of direct characterization. This is also correct because when an author directly describes a character's appearance or personality, they are explicitly providing information about that character's traits.
Therefore, both options A and C can be considered examples of direct characterization.
