Answer:

Patrick's writing failed to be direct and specific.

Step-by-step explanation:

The good writer requires many qualities, these qualities are known as "properties of good writing". These properties are related to the correct use of grammar and writing with cohesion and coherence, but not only that. Good writing should be simple, direct and specific and that is what Patrick failed to write "just before the night fell" in place of "twilight".
