Which type of writing aims to effect a change or improve something?

• A. Prescriptive Writing
• B. Reminiscence
• C. Expository Text
• D. Epistolary

Answer: (A)

Prescriptive writing aims to influence actions by offering rules, guidelines, or recommended steps intended to improve a situation. It’s meant to persuade readers to adopt a specific approach or behavior to bring about a better result, as seen in safety manuals, policy proposals, health guidelines, or how-to guides that tell you what to do.

Reminiscence focuses on recalling past experiences and memories. Expository text aims to explain or inform about a topic without pushing a particular course of action. Epistolary refers to writing composed as letters, which can serve many purposes but isn’t defined by a goal to change or improve something.
