Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

When we get to know a character by the description that the author provides, we are facing direct characterization.

Answer 2

I believe it is B, because the author is directly telling you about the character. If the author was dropping hints it would be indirect. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
