We need more female superheroes. The ones we have are rarely given the same narrative time as their male counterparts, and they are usually presented in outfits that appeal to men. I propose we create more female superheroes with their own stories, their own powers, and their own choice of outfit. Should they get equal narrative space . . . or not? Did you answer yes in a Flash? Can you quote one female superhero? Do you know her backstory like kryptonite or spider bites? If your answer is no, then it’s time for more narrative time and backstory for our female superheroes.

Question

Which techniques does the author most use to advance their purpose? Select the two correct answers.

Answer 1

The author most uses the following two techniques to advance their purpose:

A. point of view - The passage expresses a clear perspective on the representation of female superheroes and the need for more narrative focus on them.

D. description - The author describes the current state of female superheroes, their outfits, and the issues surrounding their representation, which helps to illustrate the need for more attention to their stories and character development.

So, the correct answers are A. point of view and D. description.
