What is the difference between style and form?

Form is what a work is about and style is how it is written
Style is what a work is about and form is the structure of the writing
Style is the structure of the writing and form is the surface features of the work
Style is the surface features of the work and form is the structure of the writing

The correct answer is: Style is the surface features of the work and form is the structure of the writing

Style and form are both important elements in understanding a literary work, but they refer to different aspects of the writing. Style refers to the author's unique use of language, imagery, and other literary devices that create tone and atmosphere. On the other hand, form refers to the overall structure and organization of a piece, including elements such as plot, character development, and themes. So while form may encompass the surface features of a work, it primarily focuses on the larger structural elements. Option D is the most accurate as it correctly distinguishes these two aspects.
