Explanation: To answer this, you can use process of emlimination. This excerpt doesn’t hint that a person is thinking back on this event, or telling it. It seems like they are living it. You know it can’t be dialogue because no one is talking back and forth. Unless this excerpt is a memory, it cannot be backstory. It could possibly be exposition, because exposition is a memory with a narrator. I don’t see it being plot because unless this is the crux of the story, the answer is out of contex and doesn’t apply.

the first step is to convey the appropriate emotions.

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.
