Question

question 1 of 10 which sentence best describes an aesthetic impact? a. the wordiness of the story’s introduction reflects the mind of the main character b. the fights between the two main characters exemplify external conflict. c. the strange, uncertain ending of the story is meant to evoke questions from the reader. d. the height of the story’s tension occurs in the final four paragraphs of the story.

Explanation:

To determine the best description of an aesthetic impact, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Describes how wordiness reflects a character's mind, which is more about narrative technique or characterization, not aesthetic impact.
• Option B: Explains a type of conflict (external) in the story, related to plot structure, not aesthetic impact.
• Option C: The strange, uncertain ending is designed to evoke questions from the reader. Aesthetic impact refers to the emotional or intellectual effect a work of art (or literature, in this case) has on the audience. Evoking questions from the reader through the ending is an example of how the story's structure (the ending) impacts the reader's experience, which is an aesthetic impact.
• Option D: Describes where the story's tension peaks, which is about plot structure (rising/falling action), not aesthetic impact.

Answer:

C. The strange, uncertain ending of the story is meant to evoke questions from the reader.
