Read the excerpt from “Land for Free.” Johann looked over the fine print and relayed, “It says that settlers can claim a160-acre parcel and that the land will become theirs free of charge if they farm it for five years.”

Hearing this, Hans broke into a wide grin and said, “Five years is nothing! We are Bauers, and we’re never afraid of hard work.”

Johann couldn’t help but agree, for his father was as strong as an ox and as stubborn as a mule. If Hans set his mind on a piece of Oklahoma territory, it was as good as theirs already.

Which sentence from the excerpt is an example of direct characterization?

[H]is father was as strong as an ox
Hans broke into a wide grin
Johann looked over the fine print
Johann couldn’t help but agree
