Which of the following statements is an example of visualizing a sequence of events?
Kruka [31]

The correct answer is D. All of the above

Explanation:

In writing, visualizing a sequence of events means the author of the text uses descriptions and linking words that indicate the time to explains two or more events that are related. This allows writers to connect events during time and develop a story appropriately.

All the options presented are examples of this because in these authors explain events during time using descriptions and words that indicate time, for example in "Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, while was still dreaming, would disappear" the author uses the words "early" and "shortly after" to relate the experiences of a character in different moments of the day. This also occurs in "He went to bed before dusk and sleep" and "Then he began to hear sounds. Peculiar sounds" because the words "then" and "before" shows the relationship between two events during time.
