1. which sentence best describes how reading widely can improve your ability to write? reading many different kinds of stories improves your attention span. reading challenging texts helps expand your working vocabulary. reading novels in different genres increases your knowledge of grammar. reading nonfiction as well as fiction makes you a better storyteller.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: Improving attention span is not directly related to improving writing ability.
- Option 2: Reading challenging texts exposes readers to new words, which expands their working vocabulary. A larger vocabulary directly aids in writing by providing more words to express ideas precisely.
- Option 3: Reading different genres of novels does not primarily increase grammar knowledge; grammar is more about studying rules rather than just reading different genres.
- Option 4: Being a better storyteller is more about narrative skills, while reading non - fiction and fiction doesn't necessarily make one a better storyteller in a way that directly improves general writing ability as much as expanding vocabulary does.
Answer:
B. Reading challenging texts helps expand your working vocabulary.
