Question

read the sentence from \intiation.\it would be an hour before they came to get her, but thenrat court would be all over and she would say what shehad to say and go home.the author includes the sentence in the exposition to○ imply the resolution of the story.○ employ indirect characterization.○ describe the characters directly.○ create a character vs. nature conflict.

Explanation:

The sentence reveals the character's internal thoughts and plans (waiting an hour, finishing Rat Court, speaking, going home) without direct statements about her traits. This is indirect characterization, as it shows her mindset rather than telling the reader about her directly. It does not resolve the story, use direct description, or create a nature conflict.

Answer:

employ indirect characterization.
