Hope this helps...pls mark as brainliest

A. He tells the reader but not the characters about the storm.

Explanation:

This is the answer because now the reader knows how the story  is going to go. For example, you start reading a happy story, you know this because it says: The sun was as bright as my mom's smile. And the air smelled refreshing. I was laughing and eating watermelon with my friends, while the dogs were chasing each other around the yard. How did this make you feel?? Well happy right?? Same thing, if the narrator starts telling that there was  a DANGEROUS storm creeping up, but 'billy' had no idea, then you would feel worried and scared.
