Question 3 (10 points)
(MC)

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.

The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.

Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice?

a
It is the trickiest door to open.

The ancients invented it.
c

Answer:

The author explicitly says that spirit can be found in the voice of a character. Explicitly means directly - so it means that the author didn't hide the fact that he knew what could be found in the voice.

Correct option is A.

The phrase that explicitly states the author's attitude about voice is that " It is the trickiest door to open."

This is an explicit statement because the writer is directly making a connection and telling the reader information. He is directly stating that if the author can hear the voice of his character the reader will also be able to hear that voice.

Explanation:

the answer is A because it makes more sense
