D.) by using imaginative and descriptive language

Answer 1

D. By using imaginative and descriptive language

Answer 2

D.) by using imaginative and descriptive language.

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel writing, that is to say, writing whose focus is the places, culture, peoples, that a writer witnesses during a trip, is in fact a form of writing that many famous authors, such as Stendhal in his wonderful The charterhouse of Parma, explore with great genius. As Stendhal does, it would be advisable that any writer who wishes to explore this form of narrative make use of imaginative and descriptive language in order to make the reader become familiarized with what would be otherwise exotic and perhaps incomprehensible. This is undoubtedly the best way to make the reader gain a sense of the place he or she is reading about.
