The electromagnetic wave is self propagating, what I mean by that is, an electric field generates a magnetic field at 90 degree phase angle, and the magnetic wave you get as a result generates the electric wave at the same phase angle. The interchange of electric to magnetic and vice versa continues and lets the electromagnetic waves to travel without any medium. Quite interesting, really!
Answer:
The commentary which best responds to this text evidence is:
A) This text evidence shows that storytelling in movies is tighter and smaller in scope than novels.
Explanation:
Let's highlight the part that helps us find the answer:
<em>Movies have always seemed to me a much tighter form of storytelling than novels, requiring greater compression, and in that sense </em><em>falling somewhere between the short story and the novel in scale</em><em>.”</em>
<u>This passage makes it very clear that movies are greater in scale than short stories, but smaller than novels. </u>With this information in mind, we can easily work with elimination to find our option.
<u>Option A says precisely that. It states that storytelling in movies is smaller in scope than novels, which is correct. We have already found the answer, but let's take a look at the other options.</u>
Option B says movies are more like a short story than a novel, which is not what the evidence says. Movies fall between the two genres; it is not more similar to one than the other. Option C says storytelling is similar in both movies and television, but that is completely unrelated to the evidence we are supposed to analyze. Finally, option D states movies are larger in scale than novels, which is the opposite of what the evidence supports.
