Question

the word surpass means \exceed or outperform.\ how might an unestablished, previously unpublished author surpass expectations with her first novel? by promoting the book on a radio talk show or podcast by selling hundreds of copies within several days by giving a reading from the book in a small coffee shop

Explanation:

The word "surpass" means to exceed or outperform. For an unestablished, previously unpublished author, selling hundreds of copies within several days would exceed typical expectations for a first - time author. Promoting on a radio talk show or podcast is a common promotional activity, and giving a reading in a small coffee shop is a relatively low - impact event. Selling a large number of copies quickly is a more significant achievement that shows the book has outperformed expectations.

Answer:

by selling hundreds of copies within several days
