Question

mcclure was one of the few publishers at the time to give writers a prominent byline. what effect did this have for tarbell? a readers began to recognize her name. b she earned enough to start her own magazine. c she became overwhelmed with requests for articles. d publishers charged her more to write for them.

Explanation:

A prominent byline publicly associates a writer's name with their work. For Ida Tarbell, this direct attribution would lead readers to identify and remember her name, which is the core purpose of a byline. The other options are not supported by the direct effect of a prominent byline: there is no link to earning enough for a magazine, being overwhelmed with requests, or publishers charging more from just a visible byline.

Answer:

A. Readers began to recognize her name.
