Question 8 of 24
Read the following passage:
I'll take the stairs. Stairs are good for exercise, right? No,
not the stairs. That would bring me right past Barbara's
door. I wonder if she still wears that same perfume. I could
take the elevator. But what if it stops at her floor and she
gets in? I can't be in an elevator full of that smell.
What is most likely the author's purpose for using this narrative style?
