Question

While writing an article for the weekly publication Truth Bugle, Patrick described a time of the day as "just before the night fell." Teresa described the same time as "dusk." Which property of good writing did Patrick’s article lack?

Answer 1

Answer:

Patrick's writing failed to be direct and specific.

Explanation:

The good writer requires many qualities, these qualities are known as "properties of good writing". These properties are related to the correct use of grammar and writing with cohesion and coherence, but not only that. Good writing should be simple, direct and specific and that is what Patrick failed to write "just before the night fell" in place of "twilight".
