Question: Which excerpt from "Yearbook" is an example of direct characterization?

Answer: A) Now, Fatima was trudging toward the yearbook room, her head lowered and shaggy bangs falling across her dark brown eyes.

Explanation: Direct characterization involves specific details about a character's appearance, and the sentence above is the only one of the options given that shows details about Fatima's external looks. This can be determined because descriptive phrases such as "shaggy bangs" and "dark brown eyes" are used in the sentence.
