Read the description of an assignment. Olivia is writing an essay explaining the city's tree planting project. She wants to create anticipation so that readers will be excited to see the results of the project. Which narrative technique would most help Olivia to accomplish her purpose?
Answer
A
using foreshadowing to give a sense of how the mature planted trees will improve the look of the city
B
including an anecdote from one of the workers about the day they planted their first tree
C
describing what the tree planting process is like from the point of view of one of the workers
D
creating a fictional discussion between two of the people who are discussing life in the city
Explanation
Foreshadowing hints at what will happen later, so Olivia can give readers a glimpse of how the mature trees will improve the city. That preview builds anticipation for seeing the project’s results. The anecdote and worker’s point of view focus on past or present events, while the fictional discussion does not directly create excitement about the trees’ future impact.
