The novelist's decision to _______ chronological order, presenting events in a fragmented sequence that mirrored the protagonist's fractured memory, initially disoriented readers but ultimately enhanced the work's psychological depth.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
follow
disrupt
celebrate
document
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes a "fragmented sequence" that "disoriented readers." "Disrupt" means to interrupt normal flow, fitting this break from chronological order.
Choice A is incorrect because "follow" contradicts fragmented sequence. Choice C is incorrect because "celebrate" doesn't describe narrative technique. Choice D is incorrect because "document" doesn't convey breaking with convention.
