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:

• Analyzing each option:
• "It established a clear setting for the reader" is incorrect as revising a verb phrase doesn't establish setting.
• "It created a sense of calm in the narrative" is wrong because "rigorously pursued" is not calm - inducing.
• "It engaged the senses creating excitement" is correct. The word "rigorously" adds vividness and energy, engaging the reader's senses (like imagining the effort) and creating excitement.
• "It lowered the intensity of the verb" is incorrect as "rigorously pursued" is more intense than "applied for".

Answer:

It engaged the senses creating excitement.
