The answer is A. The strongest effect on his literacy is the light it casts on the world he already knows.

Explanation:

In this passage from "Learning to Read and Write" Douglass tells his feelings and emotions as he learned how to read about this he suggests " I would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing" because according to him, by reading he had realized how horrible and difficult his situation as a slave was. Also, due to this, he even envies those slaves that do not know how to read as he states "I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own".

These ideas show literacy had a great effect on Douglass especially as it opened his eyes or cast light on the world, therefore the statement that bests the statement that is correct about the effect point of view of the author about this experience is "The strongest effect on his literacy is the light it casts on the world he already knows".

laiz [17]

Answer:

To create suspense, writers must reveal details gradually so readers want more.

Explanation:

Lee Child's "A Simple Way to Create Suspense" is an essay where he narrates or rather expressed his take on creating suspense in his works. The essay provides his approach to making a suspenseful work rather than directly approaching the climax in a story.

In the given paragraph from the end of his essay, he states that there are numerous ways to make work interesting. He agrees that <em>"Attractive and sympathetic characters re nice to have; and elaborate and sinister entanglements are satisfying .... [added with] impossible-to-escape pits of despair"</em>. But all these are<em> "luxuries"</em> which provide not enough thrill. Rather, he opines that<em> "the slow unveiling of the final answer" </em>is the basic narrative fuel of any work.

Thus, the <u>central idea of the passage is that writers must reveal details slowly and gradually so that the readers will want more, creating a suspenseful environment. </u>
