Question

question 15 of 20
the plot for a well - written narrative must include which elements?
a. rising action, conflict, and evidence
b. conflict, rising action, and claims
c. rising action, claims, and evidence
d. conflict, rising action, and climax

Explanation:

To determine the correct elements of a well - written narrative plot, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "Evidence" is not a typical element of a narrative plot. Evidence is more related to argumentative or expository writing where one supports claims. So, A is incorrect.
• Option B: "Claims" are used in argumentation to state a position, not in the plot of a narrative. Thus, B is wrong.
• Option C: Both "claims" and "evidence" are not part of a narrative plot. They belong to argumentative writing. So, C is incorrect.
• Option D: In a narrative, "conflict" drives the story, "rising action" builds up the tension towards the conflict, and "climax" is the peak of the action and the resolution of the conflict. These are all essential elements of a narrative plot.

Answer:

D. Conflict, rising action, and climax
