I am quick to say thank you and return the favor if someone does something nice for me.

The sentence that is an example of indirect characterization is:

D.  I am quick to say thank you and return the favor if someone does something nice for me.

Explanation:

Options A through C use direct characterization. People are being described directly, explicitly, so to speak, through the use of adjectives - "frightened", "childish and immature", "surprised and overjoyed". However, letter D makes use of indirect characterization. Instead of using adjectives, the speaker is describing himself through his actions. When he says he thanks others and returns the favor, we can indirectly infer that he is grateful.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !
