Roscoe is trying to take notes in class, but he finds that he can't keep up with what his instructor is saying. after class, he discovers that he has a lot of blanks in his notes. what is the most plausible reason for this?

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
