Answer:

Mansfield conveys the theme by showing how the sisters were horrified of the disapproval.

Explanation:

'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' by 'Katherine Mansfield' depicts the theme of freedom. Colonel daughters were not able to enjoy their freedom even after his death. He is shown monstrous and tyrannical. He is supposed to exert his control even from his grave. The daughters are so much terrified of their father that they are even scared of their own shadows.

Mansfield tries to show that freedom should not always be negative but also be positive like, one should have freedom to do something in their life. The daughters could never do what they wanted to do, the lives they wanted to live.

Which one of the following statements about making your writing fun to read is correct?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

D. The conversation you write must sound natural for the characters.
More natural conversations between characters make your writing more fun to read. Reading a dialogue that sounds like it could actually happen engages the reader, and creates an investment in the characters themselves. Think of it this way, would you rather watch a movie with good acting or bad acting?
