which choice best replaces the underlined word?
read the sentence from rina's comparative essay, and
decide how she can make her language formal and
objective.
the narrative becomes scarier when enrique can no
longer keep his eyes open.
more terrifying
more frightening
more concerning

more terrifying

Explanation: Well it cant be concerning because try to think of a narrative as more concerning and frightening doesn't fit into the sentence as well as terrifying.

The correct answer is more terrifying.

Explanation:

To make her language formal and objective, Rina should use the first option. More frightening is not totally incorrect, but to add more emphasis (and to be short) it is not the most proper one. Letter C is incorrect because the word concerning doesn't express the same idea as the first option. Letter A is correct because it summarizes the idea of causing horror and it is more formal than scarier.
