I believe that the answer would be D. All the lines seem proud to me.
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on June 24 in 1842. He was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran.
One of Bierce's book, The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been called as "one of the most famous and frequently reproduced stories in American literature"
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" written in 1890 and originally published by The San Francisco Examiner on July 13, 1890, and was first poised in Bierce's book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians in 1891. The story is set during the American Civil War, and it is known for its irregular time sequence and twisted ending.
The sentence from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" that refers to the reality of Farquhar’s situation in the dream sequence he envisions is:
"His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth."
Answer: All strong writers have something in common: they understand the value of word choice in writing. Strong word choice uses vocabulary and language to maximum effect, creating clear moods and images and making your stories and poems more powerful and vivid.
Explanation:
The correct answer is: Short phrases that make the reader interested.
Some authors recommend the use of short sentences as the genre requires variety and flow to avoid repetition and boredom. In this way the pace of the reading is increased keeping the reader's attention. I read an example that was very helpful, imagine someone that is anxious or scared, when he sepaks he uses few words at a time, forming complex sentences turns difficult. By writing with short sentences you can be able to transmit this kind of emotions in a more effective way. Remember that suspense's objective is to make the reader wonder at all time if the protagonist will overcome the problems presented, the reader must frecuently face uncertainty.
