Read the following passage: ANNOUNCER TWO: Ladies and gentlemen, following on
the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the
Government Meteorological Bureau has requested the
large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical
watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet
Mars. Due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we
have arranged an interview with noted astronomer
Professor Pierson, who will give us his views on the event.
In a few moments we will take you to the Princeton
Observatory at Princeton, New Jersey. We return you until
then to the music of Ramon Raquello and his orchestra.
The passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of The War of the
Worlds by H. G. Wells. Instead of including expert interviews, H. G. Wells uses
a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. By
including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story
most effectively?
A. It makes the broadcast sound like a news report.
B. It makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story
C. It puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone.
D. It makes the story sound less believable by changing who
presents the story's details.
