Question

nova revised her verb phrase, \applied for the scholarship\ to
igorously pursued the scholarship,\ to include vivid imagery.
how did novas revision impact her writing?
it established a clear setting for the reader.
it created a sense of calm in the narrative.
it engaged the senses creating excitement.
it lowered the intensity of the verb.

Explanation:

The original phrase "applied for" is neutral and generic. The revised phrase "rigorously pursued" uses a strong adverb to convey active, determined effort, which adds vivid, engaging detail that creates a sense of energy/excitement for the reader. The other options are incorrect: it does not establish a setting, it does not create calm, and it raises (not lowers) verb intensity.

Answer:

C. It engaged the senses creating excitement.
