Question

The audience for a particular piece of writing is children. The purpose of the text is to inform. What form of writing and what kind of supporting details best support this audience and purpose? A. written speech for an oral presentation; no details included B. essay; details that are extensive C. short story; colorful details D. e-mail; details that support main points

Answer 1

I would believe the answer to be C, considering children are the target audience. It can't be too long of a piece because of children's short attention span, so that gets rid of A and B. Children also don't usually have email, so D would also be out.

Answer 2

Answer: C. short story; colorful details.

A short story and colorful details is the best option when addressing children. Short stories are more likely to hold their attention, as information tends to be short and fun. Colorful details will also help them concentrate and digest information more easily.
