To determine which sentence is an example of indirect characterization, you need to look for a statement or action that helps reveal a character's traits or personality indirectly, rather than explicitly stating them.
Let's analyze the options:
1. "Heather is kind and patient," Anika said. - This sentence is an example of direct characterization because Anika explicitly states Heather's traits.
2. "I don't like parties," Heather told Anika, and together they went outside to the quiet patio. - This sentence does not provide much insight into Heather's character directly or indirectly. It mainly conveys her preference for not liking parties.
3. Heather looked in the mirror and noticed how rested she looked; sleeping in had been a good idea. - This sentence does not provide any information about Heather's character. It simply describes her noticing that she looks rested.
4. As David talked, Heather yawned and looked around to see who else had come to the party. - This sentence is an example of indirect characterization. Heather's action of yawning and looking around while someone speaks suggests disinterest or boredom.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "As David talked, Heather yawned and looked around to see who else had come to the party."
