Need ! in an essay, the writing strategy of telling a story is intended to do what? a. it allows the reader to skip over the story if it isn't interesting b. it the author create credibility and reliability c. it gives a fantasy element to the story, making the problem seem hypothetical. d. it connects the reader emotionally with the writer's ideas.

I think it is option D...I'm not quite sure, tho...It sounds logically correct :/

The correct answer is option D. In an essay, the writing strategy of telling a story connects the reader emotionally with the writer's ideas. This strategy puts the reader in the character's place of the story. Thus, the reader wants to be like that character and go through what he or she is going through.
