Question

Read the excerpt from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown.”

There was a shuffling sound as the person who had been speaking moved a step closer. Greg turned, holding his breath, his eyes straining to see in the dark room.

Which type of indirect characterization is used?

dialogue
thought
action
reaction

Answer 1

A. Dialogue I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

C. It is not dialog because no one is speaking. It is not thought because it doesn’t refer to them. It is action because it is describing what he is doing. Reaction isn’t correct because there was nothing to react to yet.
