If you're a technical writer, "a" is the answer, and it's the only acceptable answer.

If you're writing fiction, there are no secrets. A combination of all of these answers make for good fiction. For the purpose of this question, I'll assume that only one answer is allowed, and say that "c" is the answer your teacher is looking for here, but I'm also going to explain why that's actually wrong.

The teacher is probably using the word "intricate" as a deterrent because they assume readers shouldn't have "complicated or detailed" things to read in a fictional writing because readers of fiction are reading for enjoyment. If they think intricate = bad, I'd really like to hear their opinion of T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland," or any number of Modernist/Post-Modernist writings.

Dickens and others use complex and long sentences from time to time, and no one would say Dickens was a bad writer. Long, complex sentences can be used to create a certain flow to an event, or they can be used to intentionally disrupt the reader so that they have to focus more intently on whatever is happening. 

The exact same thing can be said of short sentences. If a writer wants to give speed to an event, they'll use short sentences. "He ran. Then he ran some more. His feet floated over the tile. He slammed the door behind him. The door knob jiggled. Then a bang. His eyes darted around the room, looking for an escape. Another bang. Nowhere to go. The door frame started to give way..." That's a bad example that I made up off the top of my head, but you get the idea. 

Emotional and playful is the most obvious answer because who doesn't like emotional and playful writing? Of course, if you're dealing with the death of a loved one, or any other serious moment, "playful" isn't a very good choice.

Why does the author include details about the narrator trying on Meg’s clothes in "The All-American Slurp"?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

to emphasize the narrator’s desire to dress like her classmates

Explanation:

<u>It is said in the story that Meg was dressed like all the other girls – this meant jeans instead of skirts, especially for riding a bike, and often a T-shirt. </u>

When the author tries these clothes at Meg’s house, she says she could “almost pass for an American”, meaning this is how she saw the majority of the children born and raised in the US to dress and what she regarded as the American clothes. <u>This part explains how much the author wants to feel part of the crowd and to dress like everyone else.</u>

Instead of jeans, the author had to wear a navy skirt her mother bought her. The family did not have money for different clothes, and it is evident this type of dressing, while common in China, was not as common in the American school author attended.

<u>The clothes in the story are the symbol for standing out and the wish for belonging.</u>
