English

Colt1911 [192]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:A. To make the language more memorableWhen speakers emphasize particular words and phrases, they do this to make what it is they are saying more memorable.  In writing, this is done through italics.  Thus, when we see writing that has certain words italicized, this is done to emphasize/make content more memorable.  For instance, let’s look at two sentences (one without any italicized/emphasized words and one with):The dog was drenched.The dog was drenched.The italicized word calls attention to itself.  If spoken/read, “drenched” would be emphasized, and as we can see, written or spoken, this has the effect of helping to make the emphasized word more memorable.
