Bridget tells Martin she is having trouble understanding genres. Martin tells her, “Genres are simple. It’s basically a recipe that you follow, step by step. You just take your information and plug it in.” Why is this explanation inaccurate? a.) Genres help writers by providing an unchanging pattern to follow in their writing.
b.) Genres do not help writers, but they do help readers interpret and respond mechanically to simple situations.
c.) Genres are flexible and should always be adapted to the particular situation.
d.) Genres help writers by giving them a template to fit their content into.
