Reading the passage
This is an EXCEPT question: four features will be supported, and one won't. We can check the details without trying to recall every technique from memory. A supported feature is a reason to eliminate that choice here.
Working the answers
- A
The final paragraph says episodes are “repeated for emphasis.” That supports repetition, even though the word takes a different form.
- B
The same sentence mentions moving familiar tales to modern settings. This is explicitly attributed to him.
- C
The first sentence establishes his wide international recognition.
- D
The closing sentence describes an “omniscient, summarizing voice.” This technique is supported too.
- ECorrect
