Passage Summary: A critic argues that for a book to be great, readers need to get lost in the story; since switching perspectives makes readers think about the author, it hurts the book's quality.

Conclusion: Changing the narrator's perspective in a book reduces its quality because it makes readers think about the writer.

Reasoning: Top-tier novels require readers to be emotionally immersed in the story's world, but switching points of view tends to distract readers by making them notice the author instead.

Analysis: The critic assumes a direct conflict between focusing on the author and being emotionally engaged with the story's world. If a reader can focus on the author and still be emotionally engaged, the argument falls apart. Look for an answer that bridges this gap by suggesting that focusing on the author prevents or reduces emotional engagement. This is a classic 'missing link' assumption where the author introduces a new term in the premise to support a conclusion about a different term.
