S. E. Hinton said in an interview that she really gets to know her characters. In fact, she says she focuses more on them than on the setting in her books. In the first chapter of The Outsiders, how does she describe the “greasers”?
by using mostly indirect characterization
by showing how each one handles conflict
by using the plot details to show what they’re like
by using mostly direct characterization

Hey there!

I think that the correct answer would be D.

For example, she directly describes how Ponyboy and most of the gang style their hair, and how they "grease" it.

Hope this helps! Have a wonderful day!

I Heard a Bird Sing

Than we were in September,”

In the dark of December.

Read the excerpt below, then answer the question.

One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court.
There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very jolly. As they were passing through a grove of small trees, they heard a great fluttering over their heads and a feeble chirping in the grass by the roadside.
"Stith! stith! stith!" came from the leafy branches above them. "Cheep! cheep! cheep!" came from the wet grass. "What is the matter here?" asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. "Oh, it's only some old robins!" said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. "The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it.”
"What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass," said the third lawyer, whose name I forget.
"Oh, well! They're nothing but birds," said Mr. Hardin. "Why should we bother?"
"Yes, why should we?" said Mr. Speed.
