Section 1 - Question 12
How does the voice of the narrator in "Mendel Prepares" add to the readers' understanding of
Mendel's conflict about public speaking?
A
B
C
D
Because the narrator uses internal dialogue, the reader hears Mendel's
thoughts and knows why public speaking is frightening.
Because the narrator uses figurative language, the reader is more interested in
what Mendel does and feels more sympathy toward him.
Because the narrator tells the story from Mendel's point of view, the information
is limited and distorts the reader's understanding.
Because the narrator tells the story in chronological order, the reader is kept in
suspense and does not know if Mendel will succeed in speaking.
