The correct answer is C. The radio adaptation is more frenzied than the novel.
Explanation:
An adaptation or version mainly occurs when a literary work such as a novel or short story is transformed into a new material such as audio, film or similar. Considering the type of material of the original version (written form) and the type of material of the adaptation (audio or audiovisual version) differ greatly some of the content of the material might also change.
In the case of the versions of "The War of the Worlds" by H. G. Well the original version which is a novel presents an scene in which a new creature appears for doing this the author mainly uses some punctuation marks to create some suspense such as the dashes (—) and descriptive details such as "something resembling a little grey snake, about the thickness of a walking stick" in a text that flows uniformly without interruptions.
On the other hand, in the case of the radio adaptation the narrator relies on longer pauses and breaks represented by the ellipsis (...) and exclamatory expression such as "Wait a minute! " or "Good heavens" that create different tones and makes the version be more Frenzy or agitated as the reactions of the narrator are included along with multiple pauses which are not included in the first version. Thus, the statement that describes the difference between the versions is "The radio adaptation is more frenzied than the novel".
