paragraph 3.Hemingway worked as a journalist for a portion of his life writing mainly for the Toronto Star, but people mostly remember Hemingway for his novels and short stories. Hemingway developed a unique writing style that emphasized short, direct sentences. Instead of including pages of description in his fiction, Hemingway used details sparingly. This style earned Hemingway many prestigious awards in literature as well as the positive regard of fans and critics. Most of Hemingway’s work centered on the themes of war and romance. He drew on his own life experiences to create great works of literature.

The correct answer is C) It has a slight tone of scorn for how wordy and lengthy other authors' works can be.

The writing style of Hemingway is called The Iceberg Theory. He contended that writing becomes more interesting by omitting unnecessary matter. When he became a short story writer, he retained this minimalistic style, focusing on surface elements without discussing the underlying themes.
