Explanation:
In order to be the most believable when constructing a story, it is a good idea for the author be well versed in the areas to be written about. For example, if one is going to be constructing a story about space, in order to be the most convincing to readers, the author should definitely use the jargon of the field to make it seem as if an expert in the field is conveying the story, which, of course, would make things the most realistic to readers. This is why the narrator of The War of the Worlds uses precise and scientific language.
Answer:
The best answer to the question: Why does the narrator of the War of the Worlds uses such precise and scientific language? Would be: To add credibility to the story he tells.
Explanation:
"The War of the Worlds" is a science fiction novel that was written in 1897 by H.G Wells. The story narrates the events that take place when Earth suffers and invasion by Martians, from the point of view of the narrator of the story, who happens to also be the main protagonist. All we know of this man is that he lives in Surrey, that he becomes a first-hand witness to the horrors of the invasion and the consequences for human beings and Earth in general, and that he has a younger brother, with whom he experiences the events.
Given that the novel is a science fiction one, the language that the narrator uses must show his experience and knowledge of such a field and in order to do that he must use very precise language. This lends the story, and the narrator, credibility and reliability.
