Question

HELP!!! Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. Hanging from a cord attached to the middle of the ceiling there was an electric bulb, low enough for an adult to reach and turn the black switch. I realized that this was our own electric light for us to turn on and off as we pleased. I pushed a chair under it and after some instruction from my mother proceeded to create lightning in the room by turning the switch as fast as I could.\

Answer 1

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here is the remaining part of the question;

Which effective technique does the author mainly use to write this excerpt?

a)  clear point of view

b) interesting dialogue

c) detailed action

d) logical sequencing

Answer:

c) detailed action

Explanation:

We can make this assertion because the detailed action writing technique involves telling in writing a series of actions carried out or to be carried out in other to achieve a goal.

We can notice from the excerpt, the author carefully outlined in detail what was done to achieve the desired goal. For example, he said, "I pushed a chair under it and after some instruction from my mother proceeded to create lightning in the room by turning the switch as fast as I could."
