Characterization is the way an author unfolds a sequence of events within a story. describes the features of a physical environment. illustrates the time period in which a tale takes place. develops personalities through thoughts, words, and actions.

The correct answer is D. Develops personalities through thoughts, words, and actions.

Explanation:

In literature, including short stories, novels and even some poems the word characterization refers to the way the author or narrator presents the way a character is including the way the character looks, behaves, acts and develops in the story. For doing this the narrator or author presents characters to the reader in a direct and explicit way by telling the reader the way the character is or using indirect characterization by presenting the thoughts, words, and actions of a character that suggest to the reader how the character is. However, any type of characterization deals with presenting the features of the characters including behaviors, thoughts, beliefs, actions, and words. Considering this, it can be concluded characterization is the way an author develops personalities through thoughts, words, and actions.

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
