Which term describes the people who will read or hear what you wrote?

• A. Writer's Audience
• B. Graphic
• C. Plot
• D. Theme

Answer: (A)

Understanding who you write for—the audience—is the key idea here. The people who will read or hear your writing are called the writer’s audience. Knowing your audience helps you decide what to include and how to say it, so your writing fits their needs and expectations. A graphic is a visual element, not the readers. Plot is the sequence of events in a story, and theme is the message or idea the story communicates. So writer’s audience is the best term because it specifically refers to the readers or listeners your writing is meant for.
