  3. C

    Version B places the hare's emotions at the centre, making it more relatable

  4. Version B uses narrative flow with specific detail and perspective, which the brain engages with differently than a list of facts

    Correct answer

Why this is the answer

A sequence of bullet points delivers information. A narrative places the reader inside a moment. The brain responds to context, character, and tension — not to enumerated facts. That is why the same events, told as a story, land differently.
