I think the author chose to start the book 19 years before the main events of the story so the reader could absorb things. The author technically wanted the reader(s) to understand something before reading the real story.

Explanation:
Although an editorial might offer facts to support its argument, unlike news reports, editorials´ principal objective is not to factual provide information, but to express an opinion. That´s why emotional and personal arguments are present in the literary strategies of editorials, to better express the viewpoint of the editor, or even an entire editorial board.

Explanation:
Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered their field at an older age than usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies findings strongly suggest that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.
To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.
A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.
A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.
That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene.
The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.
Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.
