Poor writers often express boring ideas with fancy syntax and difficult vocabulary. Inattentive readers may be impressed, but they also may misunderstand the writing. Alert readers will easily see through the pretentiousness.

Thus, a good principle for writers is: a writer’s style should match the complexity of the ideas expressed.

This answer is unsupported. The author criticizes poor writing as using complex style to express mundane ideas. This doesn’t necessarily mean that there are not more complex ideas that necessitate a more complex style of writing.

This answer is unsupported. Nothing from the stimulus tells us which audiences are worth writing for.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not address talented writers or what they can achieve. The stimulus only addresses poor writing.

This answer is strongly supported. The author criticizes poor writing as using complex style to express mundane ideas. Therefore, the author believes that the style of writing should correlate with the complexity of ideas being expressed.

This answer is unsupported. To say that alert readers are the “only” ones sensitive to style is too strong. We know that they are at least one group sensitive to style, but we cannot say they are the only ones.
