The puritan style of writing was
simple and direct
descriptive and long
figurative and fictional
narrative and metaphorical

The answer is " simple and direct"

The explanation for this answer is that what characterized most Puritan writings was the plain style, the simple style, largely devoid of ornament and ambiguity. In short, they were simple words, usually employed in a clear and direct order. In fact, the Puritans wrote in this way because they believed that the word of God could not be improved by the ornamentation of the human being.

the purpose of a nonfiction text is to give the text a rap up. for example, when i say : frogs are interesting animals is an ending. then when i say: frogs are unique in different ways. that is an intro.

the answer is both an appeal to ethos and logos (if that's what your question options were)
