On December 25th, 1776, General George Washington’s Continental Army crossed the Delaware River and defeated troops of Hessians (German soldiers fighting for the British). Here’s a fictionalized account of that historical event: “While our general stood bravely in the Christmas Day cold, I shivered from more than just the icy wind. Beyond the river were enemy soldiers from the most obscure corners of Europe. I could barely fathom the unknown monsters ahead.” How did the fiction author make the factual account more exciting? A The author altered the chronology of the historical events. B The author omitted the factual details, because readers already know them. C The author enhanced the drama by altering the description of the enemy troops. D The author created a sense of danger by changing the setting of the event.
