At the end of what story? We need the story!
Answer:
D). Increase the wordiness of sentences.
Explanation:
'You-attitude' is demonstrated as the writing style that lays emphasis on considering the readers' interests and their viewpoints. In order to reflect this, the author uses the pronoun 'you' and 'your' to reflect this attitude.
As per the question, the revision for 'you-attitude' more often leads to 'increase the wordiness of the sentences' as the revision intends to make the sentences more specific(by constant use of 'you' and 'your') and intends to propose more information to the readers' more specifically and clearly keeping their(readers') perspective in mind. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
C. "Wearing a wet half smile, her ancient dog sullenly waddled toward me like Yoda greeting Luke." —Student essay
Changing the sentence from a very long sentence into a short and choppy helps the suspense by not giving the reader a lot of information and making them really think and wonder.
For example:
"The stranger watched, a look in his eyes and this feeling spread throughout my body."
or
"There was a man watching, his blue eyes had this look in them that made me shiver with fear. His pale face held no emotion and made him seem as if he was just a corpse standing on his own."
The second one might sound better, yes, but the second one really makes you think and really builds the suspense.
"Who is this stranger? What does he look like? What feeling spread throughout their body?"
So instead of knowing a lot about this stranger, you know little to nothing and it really makes you want to know more, and definitely build the suspense.
