Which excerpt from chapter 1 of Animal Farm is an example of direct characterization? "The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy
hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal concealed in the straw."
O "Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together.
A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance."
O "Clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down inside it and promptly
fell asleep."
O "Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between
Boxer and Clover; there she purred contentedly throughout Major's speech without listening to a word of what he was
saying."
