Question

question 1 of 10
what is one way in which traditional storytelling is different from modernist stories?

a. traditional stories do not have tidy resolutions.

b. traditional stories are only told in the third person.

c. the conflict in traditional stories is always presented between the beginning and the end.

d. the characters in traditional stories do not have problems or flaws that need to be reconciled.

Explanation:

• Option A: Modernist stories often lack tidy resolutions, while traditional stories typically have clear conclusions, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Traditional stories can be told in first, second, or third person (e.g., some folktales have first - person narrators in parts or use other perspectives), so B is wrong.
• Option C: In traditional storytelling, the conflict usually unfolds between the beginning and the end, following a more linear narrative structure. Modernist stories may have fragmented or non - linear approaches to conflict and plot. This option aligns with the differences between traditional and Modernist storytelling.
• Option D: Traditional story characters often have flaws or problems (e.g., heroes with tragic flaws in myths or folktales) that are resolved, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. The conflict in traditional stories is always presented between the beginning and the end.
