<span>Since the narrator's is anonymous, it gives the reader a chance to place themselves in the situation. This helps the reader better understand whats going on and helps form opinions. </span>

After a thorough research, there exists the same question that has the full passage.
<span>One might think that proud English writers would welcome a broader readership. However, quite the opposite happened.

According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language.
Today, if you do not know how to spell a word, you look it up in the dictionary. During the early eighteenth century, there were few dictionaries. Those that did exist were mainly collections of difficult words or translation dictionaries (Latin to English, for example). There was no authority on the"correct" way to use or spell words.

The line in the passage that explains why English scholars felt a dire need to set standards for the English language is this one "<span>According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language."</span>
