Question

select the correct answer.
what should the reader do to determine an authors message?
a. consider the headings an author uses to organize the information
b. consider the amount of information provided
c. consider the words an author uses to describe a topic
d. consider the background of the author

Explanation:

An author's message is conveyed through their specific word choices when discussing a topic, as these words reveal their tone, perspective, and core point. Headings only structure content, the amount of information does not indicate the intended message, and author background provides context but not the direct message itself.

Answer:

C. consider the words an author uses to describe a topic
