Answer:
D). by remembering hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere.
Explanation:
Text-to-world connection is characterized as the association which readers develop between the events that take place in the text and the events they have heard about in their own world through television, newspaper, magazine, radio, etc. In the given situation, Clarisa initiates a text-to-world connection by 'recalling hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere.' It would <u><em>help her in a better understanding, experiencing a real-life connection that the author brings to the text, and evoke the intended feelings and response</em></u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
The correct preposition that you should add to make the sentence correct is TO. The answer is then "To facilitate a quick getaway, the cunning thief parked the car perpendicular to the building". Perpendicular things always have the preposition TO next to them.
