Explanation:

Direct characterization is defined by an author describing a character through the use of descriptive adjectives, epithets, or phrases. In the excerpt from "Fever 1793" by Laurie Halse Anderson, the characters of Eliza, the author's mother and the author's grandfather are described as people that have strong-headed opinions in an equal manner. The author directly uses the phrase of "strong-headed opinions" and "evenly matched" to described them, therefore she used direct characterization in this excerpt.

in this passage from "animal farm", by george orwell, the statement that best explains how boxer's response supports the author's purpose in writing an allegory is option b) orwell uses boxer's decision to avoid more carnage by working hard to show how the working class was manipulated. boxer and the other animals feel they are responsible for their carnage because napoleon uses propaganda to manipulate the animals of the farm.
