Socrates' style in the apology affects the text's importance meaning readability theme

The correct answer is C, readability. Socrates was a Greek philosopher who created the "Socratic method," laid the basis for Western systems of logic and philosophy. The Apology is an explanation of the speech Socrates delivers at the trial in which he is charged with not recognizing the gods revered by the state, inventing new divinities, and corrupting the youth of Athens. Socrates' speech, however, is an "apology" in our modern understanding of the word. Socrates speaks in a very basic, informal manner.
