is it b?
The third example, "Sasha hid the toys," is not an example of direct characterization. Direct characterization is a technique used in literature where the author specifically describes a character's traits, personality, or appearance directly to the reader. Instead, the third example is an example of an action or event in the story.
The correct example of direct characterization from the given options is the second one: "Mr. Lightner is cruel and is no friend to animals." In this statement, the author directly describes Mr. Lightner's personality by stating that he is cruel and not friendly towards animals. This gives the reader direct information about the character.
