Select the correct answer Which sentence from Washington Irving's short story "Rip Van Winkle" is an example of indirect characterization?

The answer is D. "In fact, he declared it was of no use to work on his farm; it was the most pestilent little piece of ground in the whole country..."

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device used to present characters. In the case of indirect characterization, the features of characters are not directly explained but presented through their actions or words. This occurs in option D. because the narrator does not define the personality of Rip Van Winkle in this option but only explains his decision to refuse to work and through this, it is shown, Rip Van Winkle is lazy and does not feel happy about his farm.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
