Read the excerpt from A Girl from Yamhill. Mother seizes my hand and begins to run, out of the house, down the steps, across the muddy barnyard toward the barn where my father is working. My short legs cannot keep up. I trip, stumble, and fall, tearing holes in the knees of my long brown cotton stockings, skinning my knees. Which effective narrative technique does the author use in this excerpt? A)powerful introductory sentence B)interesting dialogue to move the story along C)clear first-person point of view D)strong description of the author’s emotions

D). Strong description of the author’s emotions

Explanation:

The narrative technique that has been most effectively employed in the given excerpt from 'A Girl from Yamhill' by Beverly Cleary is the 'strong description of the author's emotions' as a child. This is mirrored clearly through the use of descriptive words like 'muddy', 'short', 'trip', 'stumble', 'tearing', 'long brown', 'skinning', etc. as these words help the readers envision the excitement the author feels as a little girl running towards the barn where her father works. However, there is the use of the first-person point of view yet the most effective technique here is the effective portrayal of the narrator's emotions. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
