Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A

follow

B

disrupt

C

celebrate

D

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.
