Which of these inferences is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 2)?

English

Answer:

The inference that is best supported by the passage is:

A. The writers of successful films learned from the plot structure outlined in Campbell's book.

Explanation:

When the author of the passage mentions movies such as "The Matrix", "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings", the purpose is to show how important and effective Campbell's structure is. It is not that those movies plagiarized anything. And it is not that Campbell analyzed those movies. It is just an archetypal structure, that is, a structure that can be found almost universally and that is effective precisely because it is understandable. The author does not say that a movie that does not follow that blueprint will be a failure. There are movies that do so effectively and are acclaimed for that. But, whether we like it or not, most successful movies - at least the Hollywood ones - do tend to follow that blueprint with a high degree of success.

If a reader were to examine the vocabulary used in the novel, he<br> or she would be analyzing what?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The answer is that the reader would be analyzing the <u>diction</u> of a novel.

Explanation:

Diction refers to the linguistic choices a writer makes to effectively convey an idea, a point of view, or tell a story. The utilization of diction is the careful selection of words to communicate a message or establish a particular voice or writing style. For example, flowy, figurative language creates colorful prose, while a more formal vocabulary with concise and direct language can help a main point to come across as clear and precise.    

Writers use diction in order to choose specific words and phrases depending on the outcome they’re trying to achieve. Diction can:  

  • Create a certain tone that supports purpose. The purpose of a piece of writing determines its diction. In literature and fiction writing, writers often use informal diction and figures of speech—words used for non-literal meanings, like similes and metaphors. If a scientist is publishing a paper on their research, however, the language will be technical, concise, and formal, written for a specific audience.
  • Support the setting. In fiction writing, the language an author uses supports the basic story elements, like setting. Diction helps establish when and where a story is set by using language native to that time and place, which is called colloquial diction. For example, a story set in New York City will have a different style of language compared to a story that takes place in London.
  • Establish a narrative voice and tone. A writer’s attitude towards the subject of a story comes through in the words used throughout the story. This helps establish tone and impacts a reader's emotional response. For instance, the tone of a horror novel will be very different to that of a romance novel.
  • Bring characters to life. A writer can tell a reader a lot about characters through their dialogue. The way a character uses diction reflects personal details like age and gender, background, social setting, and profession.
