Expression of Ideas / Rhetorical Synthesis Difficulty: Hard

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Freddie Wong (born 1985) is a director and special effects artist from the United States.
  • He is best known for the action-comedy web series Video Game High School (VGHS).
  • VGHS premiered in 2012 on RocketJump, a YouTube channel that Wong cocreated.
  • The series was celebrated for its inventive video game–centric world and high-quality special effects.
  • VGHS was nominated for a Producers Guild Award for Outstanding Digital Series.

The student wants to begin a narrative about Wong’s award-nominated web series. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Explanation

Choice A is the best answer. This choice introduces Wong and VGHS in an active and specific way, as if to an audience unfamiliar with the series. It also sets up the time and genre of the web series, which are useful ways to introduce the series of events in a narrative.

Choice B is incorrect. This choice isn’t suited for beginning a narrative. A narrative is a story that follows a sequence of events and creates interest and suspense for the reader. This choice jumps to the end, explaining the success of VGHS without explaining what it is. Choice C is incorrect. This choice isn’t suited for beginning a narrative. It doesn’t actually introduce the web series by name. It just jumps to later in the story without sufficient explanation. Choice D is incorrect. This choice is not very effective for beginning a narrative. It doesn’t explain what VGHS is, and it doesn’t mention Wong.
