I am pretty sure that themes on which William Folkner focuses and takes as a basis of his masterpieces are definitely : love, honor, compassion, and sacrifice. First of all, there is a prompt in question that is put in quotation marks. Love and compassion are the points which always were in need for people's relationships and honor with sacrifice, as told by Folkner in many of his works, are connected to more global sphere of demand - they are universal issues.
Answer:
Patrick's writing failed to be direct and specific.
Explanation:
The good writer requires many qualities, these qualities are known as "properties of good writing". These properties are related to the correct use of grammar and writing with cohesion and coherence, but not only that. Good writing should be simple, direct and specific and that is what Patrick failed to write "just before the night fell" in place of "twilight".
The first one sounds the most correct to me
