Explanation:

The text reveals Madame Sofronie's character through her spoken words (e.g., "I buy hair. Take your hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it.") and her action (tugging the hair with a practiced hand). This is indirect characterization, as her traits are shown through her thoughts/words/actions rather than direct descriptions of her personality or physicality.

Answer:

indirect characterization, using her thoughts and actions
