Set 4: Cross-Text Connections

Explanation

Answer: A

PASSAGE

Text 1 The epistolary novel, written as a series of documents (letters, diary entries), creates a sense of immediacy and realism. It allows the reader to see the story through the characters' eyes directly. Text 2 This format also highlights the subjectivity of truth. In 'Dracula', the story is pieced together from various journals. The reader must synthesize these fragmented, often fearful accounts to understand the objective reality of the monster.

A. It moves from simple immersion to an epistemological challenge, requiring the reader to construct the truth.✓ Correct
B. It says the format is boring.
C. It claims Dracula is a romance.
D. It argues against using letters.
