B. Modern writers often write books and other things, such as screenplays.
C. Many writers choose to write other things instead of books, such as movies.
D. Many novelists do good writing for books as well as for stuff like movies.

Respuesta :

A, because it specifies what kind of other thing the writers are writing (genre)

A. Modern novelists often expand to other genres, such as screenwriting.

Broad and generic words like "things" and "stuff" are too vague for formal writing. They make the author's points weak and not well thought out. Options B, C, and D use these vague words so they do not have precise wording. Option A uses the word genres instead of "things" or "stuff".
