What term describes the people who will read or hear a piece of writing?

• A. Writer's Audience
• B. Graphics
• C. Theme
• D. Setting

Answer: (A)

Understanding who will read or hear a piece shapes how a writer chooses words, details, and tone. The term for the people who read or listen is the writer's audience, because these are the readers or listeners the writing is meant to reach. Graphics are the pictures, charts, or illustrations used to convey information, not the people reading. Theme is the underlying message or lesson the author wants to share. Setting is the time and place where the events occur. So, the writer’s audience is the best way to describe who will read or hear the writing.
