Answer 1

Answer:

A) Analyzing an author's omissions and his or her use of details is an important part of responding or evaluating a text.

Explanation:Evaluation is crucial to the effective understanding and analysis of the text. Thus, to keep the author's perceptions, omissions, and the purpose behind writing the particular text in mind relevantly become vital as it would not merely assist in the evaluation of the text but also in offering insight into the psyche of the author which would further hint the perceptions and ideas echoed through the work. The rest of the options do not consider evaluation in its context and are mere incomplete or incorrect statements. Hence, the one which is suggesting a true path to the evaluation is option A as the authorial details would surely play the part in apprehension and assessment of the text.
