Question

Can someone help me with this, please?

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. The author writes, "If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader." What type of statement is this? (10 points)
Implicit
Interrogative
Explicit
Exclamatory

Answer 1

I believe that the answer would be explicit because it is very plainly stating that if a writer clearly hears the voice of a character as they write, the reader will hear the character's voice as well.
