Feliz [49]

Answer:

You could add a conflict to make the story more interesting. For example, maybe the guy who finds a winning lottery ticket finds it on the ground, but then finds out who it really belongs to, and has to make a choice; whether he should keep it or take it to its rightful owner.

Something like that will really spice up the plot.

Which explanation defines the nut graph of a news story
Zielflug [23.3K]

The "Nut Graph" is known as the paragraph that helps to put the story in context, provides any additional information that may be useful for the reader and that can lead to a better understanding of it.


The Nut Graph is often the third or fourth paragraph of the news story and  the information that contains is always related to how the context affects the reader and the story as well.


In journalism, it is used when the writer considers that the reader will need more context in order to understand why, what, who and how it happened, without really saying it, because this answers are normally given during the first and second paragraph.

In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of a written work?
Serggg [28]
Sentence structure affects the tone of a written work because of the way you put words in a sentence. As human, we tend to get offensive easily. Of course, you won't be able to please everybody, but using simple sentence structure, you give off a great vibe.
Hopefully, this was useful!!!
