If a text is written as a sequence of letters exchanged between people, what term describes it?

• A. Epistolary
• B. Exclamatory Writing
• C. Prescriptive Writing
• D. Narrative

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is the term used for a text that is written as letters exchanged between people. That term is epistolary. Epistolary writing uses letters, diary entries, or other documents as the primary vehicle for the story, so the plot and character voices come to us directly through what the characters write to one another. This format often provides multiple viewpoints and a sense of immediacy, since the reader experiences events through the writers’ own words. Exclamatory writing focuses on strong emotional bursts, not a letter-based structure. Prescriptive writing aims to tell you how things should be done, often with instructions. A narrative is a broad term for any story, but it doesn’t specify that the storytelling happens through letters.
