Question

Read this sentence from "Why I Write" by George Orwell.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) It emphasizes the whimsical tone of the essay.

Explanation:

The term whimsical is defined as the act of behaving in a capricious manner, which involves the property of being impulsive and a sudden change in mood. This describes how the author uses the phrase "scraps of useless information", as it is an unexpected set of words for him to use (his mood changed) after describing himself as "strong about prose style" and to "take pleasure in solid objects".
