Verified Answer :

Writers vary sentence structure and length, depending on the purpose of a piece.

Answer:

Writers vary sentence structure and length, depending on the purpose of a piece.

Explanation:

The intention of a piece is key to determine the length of sentences and also their structure. This is a device used by the writer as a way to display some actions or to set a specific ambience, but reader's job is also important in this step. As we can see in different poets and writers (such as Dadaist poems, where there was no structure, apparently) have used many different structures, which makes first option incorrect; also, we can recall examples like David Foster Wallace, who believed in the fact of writing from and to the writer, even if it was too difficult to understand. Last option is also correct but incomplete, because that is not the only way writers use long sentences. Besides, it does not mention short sentences or other styles.
