You know certain characteristics of a character by what they say and theyr actions. you have to infer what theyr actions say.
Answer:
Direct
Explanation:
Typically, characterization as used in writing fiction, can be categorized into two: indirect or direct.
Indirect characterization – also known as implicit characterization – is done by describing the character through his or her actions, thoughts, and conversation with others. Thus, in this style of writing you will not see the author stating openly that, for example, “Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant man.” Rather, perhaps, the author would use how others treat him, or how quickly he deduces things around him as a way to describe the kind of individual Sherlock Holmes is.
In contrast, the question above is a statement describing how direct characterization works, which is to say, a characterization style where characterizations of an individual are described explicitly, commonly in a form of narrative.
