Question

question 10 of 10
which sentence best describes an aesthetic impact?
a. the wordiness of the storys introduction reflects the mind of the
main character.
b. the symbolism in the middle of the story represents the
characters longing.
c. the twist ending of the story is meant to shock and disturb the
reader.
d. the height of the storys tension occurs in the final four
paragraphs of the story.

Explanation:

Aesthetic impact refers to the emotional or sensory effect a work of art (like a story) has on the audience. Option C focuses on the effect (shock and disturb) on the reader, which is about aesthetic impact. Options A and B are about literary devices (wordiness, symbolism) and their relation to the story's elements (main character's mind, character's longing) rather than the impact on the audience. Option D is about the structure (where the tension heightens) of the story, not the impact on the reader.

Answer:

C. The twist ending of the story is meant to shock and disturb the reader.
