An effect must arise from the passage’s actual wording and context. Replace vague comments such as creates an image with a specific account of what is imagined and why it matters. Reader reactions vary, so use proportionate wording. The writer’s intention cannot always be proved; focus on what the text plausibly does.
The model “The clustered movement verbs make the crowd seem restless and difficult to navigate.” illustrates the method in a specific context. Compare it with “The empty final image leaves the reunion unresolved.”. The useful question is how the change in wording affects meaning, emphasis or the relationship with the reader. A strong response connects a precise language choice to its purpose; naming a feature alone is insufficient. Explain the connection in ordinary language before adding a technical term. When reviewing your own response, remove unsupported claims and check that every detail serves the task you have been given.
