Question

from the 57 bus by dashka slater. which statement best explains why the author divides the interview into three parts? richard continues to change his mind and gives three different accounts of what happened on the bus. richard is interviewed by the officers three times in order to get all of the information and details they need. the interview is divided into questions about things that took place before, during, and after the event. the types of questions the officers ask and the way richard responds to them change as the interview progresses.

Explanation:

When an interview is divided into parts, it often reflects changes in the nature of questions and responses. The first two options focus on Richard's actions or the number of interviews rather than the structure - related reasons for dividing the interview. The third option about time - based questions is too simplistic. The best reason is that the types of questions and responses change as the interview progresses, which justifies the division into three parts.

Answer:

The types of questions the officers ask and the way Richard responds to them change as the interview progresses.
