(1) Shadow puppet theater is an ancient form of entertainment in which figures and props cut from leather are placed in front of

an illuminated screen to “act out” a story. (2) Though shadow puppets and props are no longer always made of leather, shadow puppet theater is still much the same as it was in the past and is still popular in many countries, including Indonesia, where it is a traditional art form. (3) At the center of every shadow puppet theater performance is the dalang, or puppeteer, who is a combination narrator, voice actor, musician, and educator. (4) The dalang use his or her voice to narrate the story and speak the parts of the various characters, and he or she also employs a series of signals to coordinate the story with the orchestra that plays a musical accompaniment. (5) Because shadow puppet theater performances may last many hours, the dalang must be a strong person with formidable powers of endurance. Which is the most effective way to vary the sentences in this passage?
A:Begin sentences with different parts of speech.


B:Make some sentences shorter.


C:Invert the order of subjects and verbs.

The correct answer is:  [B]:  "Make some sentences shorter." 
________________________________________________________
Note:  
________________________________________________________
 Choice [A]:  "<span>Begin sentences with different parts of speech." ; is INCORRECT; since this technique is already used.
________________________________________________________
 Choice [C]:  "</span><span>Invert the order of subjects and verbs." ; is INCORRECT; as doing so would involve  using the "passive voice"; making the passage sound weaker.
________________________________________________________
Choice [B]:  "Make some sentences shorter." ; is CORRECT—since <u><em>all</em></u><u><em> </em></u>sentences in the passage given are on the lengthy side; and since making some sentences shorter would be changing the writing style by altering the sentence variety in a manner that is specific to this particular passage given.
