How does a story employ verisimilitude?

Answer 1

By appealing to the readers senses and attempting to make him 'feel the way the writer intends him to feel.' Therefore the writer should give copious sensory clues involving all possible bodily senses. Most writing is concerned almost exclusively with visual descriptions (unfortunately) employment of the other senses, especially those lesser known and unexploited ones, makes for better verisimilitude.

Answer 2

A story employs verisimilitude by creating a sense of realism or believability in its characters, setting, and events. This can be achieved through details that make the story world feel authentic, consistent character behavior, and plausible events that occur within the story's context. Verisimilitude helps readers or viewers connect with the story and believe in its world.
