Question

"The Major strode about, soldierlike, and waved commands. He was exasperated. He was tired."

Indirect characterization

Direct characterization

Answer 1

I think that's Direct Characterization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it's directly telling us what he's doing and how he was feeling. We didn't need to figure out he was exasperated or tired, it told us in the sentences.

Hoped this helped. :)
