Excerpt 1, from H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds:

I think everyone expected to see a man emerge—possibly something a little unlike us terrestrial men, but in all essentials a man. I know I did. But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements, one above another, and then two luminous disks—like eyes. Then something resembling a little grey snake, about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the writhing middle, and wriggled in the air towards me—and then another.

Excerpt 2, from Howard E. Koch's script for Orson Welles's radio adaptation:

PHILLIPS: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed . . . Wait a minute! Someone's crawling out of the hollow top. Someone or . . . something. I can see peering out of that black hole two luminous disks . . . are they eyes? It might be a face. It might be . . .

(SHOUT OF AWE FROM THE CROWD)

PHILLIPS: Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They look like tentacles to me.

The statement which best describes the difference between the book version and the radio adaptation of "The War of the Worlds" is:

C. The radio adaptation is more frenzied than the novel.

In the story, the narrator describes what happens when Martians invade the Earth.

The story was family adapted for a radio broadcast in 1938 by Orson Welles.

However, Welles wanted his adaptation to be more thrilling, suspenseful, and frightening than the original story.

With that purpose, he made the story sound like a news bulletin - that is, as if a reporter were interrupting the normal broadcast to give people the news of the invasion.

He also changed the narration using adjectives and phrases, pauses and questions that conveyed shock and horror.

With the information above in mind, and after reading the two passages, we can choose letter C. The radio adaptation is more frenzied than the novel.
