Read the description of an assignment. Emma is writing an essay explaining how the Sahara Desert changed from an ocean to a desert. She wants readers to feel like they've time-traveled and are experiencing what the Saharan Sea was like millions of years ago. Which narrative technique would best help Emma to accomplish her purpose?

A flashback takes readers back to an earlier time, helping them imagine experiencing the Saharan Sea millions of years ago. Choice B, adding a flashback to when the Saharan Sea still existed, best creates the time-travel effect Emma wants. A description of how the sea evolved explains changes but does not place readers in the past as directly.
