Which excerpt from chapter 1 of Animal Farm is an example of indirect characterization?

C. “She took a place near the front and began flirting her white mane, hoping to draw attention to the red ribbons it was plaited with.”

Explanation:

Direct characterization offers us the qualities of the characters directly through the narrator's description. That means the authors tell us what the character is or looks like. That is what we have in options A, B, and D, where the narrator himself is describing the animals.

However, when authors use indirect characterization, we are given such information through the characters' actions, words, or thoughts. That is what we have in letter C. We can tell the character being described, Molly, is quite vain. She likes to be paid attention to, to be seen and admired by others.
