What type of writing style encourages the use of softer words and more narrative elements?

Descriptive
Informative
Persuasive
Expository

The correct answer is: Descriptive

Descriptive writing style focuses on creating vivid imagery and evoking emotions through descriptive and sensory details. This style allows for the use of gentler and more emotive language compared to other writing styles such as informative, persuasive, and expository. Informative writing aims to present facts and information objectively, persuasive writing aims to convince the reader to take a certain action or believe a certain viewpoint, and expository writing aims to explain or inform about a topic. These writing styles may use more direct and assertive language compared to descriptive writing.
