Question

What does the verbal snapshot of your book cover? A. provides a chapter-by-chapter summary of your story B. provides the character sketch of your protagonist and antagonist C. provides intriguing details of your main characters, the conflict, and what prevents them from getting what they want D. provides all the information, from the introduction of your book to how it ends E. presents your entire novel in short-story form

Answer 1

The correct answer is option letter C (provides intriguing details of your main characters, the conflict, and what prevents them from getting what they want). A verbal snapshot is a brief description of an object, situation, or a character using the narrator’s perception and creative writing. It does not include a whole summary of the text, but a piece of information that will serve the reader to get the meaning of the narration. Verbal snapshots presented in a book cover can also be called snippets, that is, a small piece of information.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter C.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, a snapshot is a "piece of information or brief description that gives people an understanding of a situation at a particular time." When talking about books, a snapshot is made up of a few lively and enticing lines of a book's storyline. A verbal snapshot of a book is not a summary or a synopsis, it's a sound bite designed to intrigue and spark the interest of the reader in reading the whole story.
