Answer 2

Answer:

Option d. The best reason why an author would use an unreliable narrator is to make a story more interesting.

Explanation:

An unreliable narrator is a character that tells a story that cannot be taken at face value because the point of view of the narrator is either insane, deluded, filled with lies or any other flawed reason. Authors use unreliable narrators to give a twist to the story, that most of the times makes it more interesting to the reader. Sometimes the unreliability of the narrator is showed at the very beginning of the story, but sometimes it can come as a surprise to the reader and mark a whole plot twist within the story line.
