When an advisor encourages a student to 'show, don't tell' in their essay, which writing technique are they primarily advocating for?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
'Show, don't tell' means using concrete details, sensory language, and actions to allow the reader to infer a quality or experience, rather than simply stating it directly. This creates a more engaging narrative.
