Question

When it comes to literature, one universal truth is that each reader
a. reads stories mainly to be entertained.
b. responds differently to different language styles.
c. has the strongest response to stories that are short.
d. relates best to stories written about current issues and ideas.

Answer 1

A universal truth would be b. responds differently to different language styles.

Some people don't read because of entertainment but rather because they have to, while novels might be preferable to some readers more than short stories. Stories about current issues and ideas might be appalling to some. The second sentence is the one that is most correct.
