Why might an author write an adaptation of a literary text? Select four options.

An adaptation reshapes an existing work, often to make it relevant or meaningful in a new context. An author might appeal to a different audience, teach a new lesson, modernize the story, or introduce a new theme. Mirroring the original author’s syntax is not a typical purpose of adaptation; it focuses on copying a writing style rather than reshaping the text.
