"A poet who wants to express feelings chooses words that will stir strong emotion in readers."
Explanation: an author’s purpose (to express feeling) directly shapes choices like diction, imagery, and tone. The other options mismatch purpose and the effective choices (unlikable protagonist usually lessens fear; writing scenes “quickly” doesn’t help production; using obscure academic words often hinders persuasion).
