PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLEST Which of the following quotations is an example of direct characterization from "Chasing Redbird?"

a. "Aunt Jessie loved those roses."

b. "Each year after that, she was thrilled in the spring when the first rosebud appeared, and each year, with the arrival of winter, she became dejected all over again, as if she didn't believe or didn't remember that spring would come again."

c. "She threw the rose to the ground."

d. "Beyond the ash tree was a rose garden: twenty bushes planted by Uncle Nate the year that baby Rose died."

b. brooks wrote about the same type of neighborhood in which she grew up.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
