C) Kerouac’s use of syntax gives his writing the natural ease and flow of informal conversation
Explanation:
"Dean had arrived the night before, the first time in New York, with his beautiful little sharp chick Marylou; they got off the Greyhound ..." This quotation exemplifies Kerouac’s use of <em>conversational </em>syntax, which means that some words are omitted. He does not use all the words in the expression , <em>the first time in New York</em>. The reader assumes it refers to Dean and Marylou's first time in New York. The use of colloquial words also gives the text a conversational tone: <em>sharp chick- </em>smart woman<em>- . </em>Then , the writer, jumps onto another event ; he tells how these two persons arrived in New York: <em>they got off the Greyhound bus. </em>The reader has to reconstruct the whole idea. This could be : Dean and Marylou arrived in New York for the first time. They had got by bus from Greyhound and got off at 50th Street.
