15. which sentence best explains the difference between flash fiction and short stories?\nflash fiction breaks all the rules of fiction that short stories are careful to follow.\nflash fiction arranges all of the stages of plot in a different order.\nflash fiction leaves out many details that would be included in a short story.\nflash fiction includes more characters and plot events than short stories.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:
- The first option is incorrect because flash fiction does not "break all the rules" of fiction; it follows narrative principles but is more concise.
- The second option is wrong as flash fiction doesn't necessarily rearrange plot stages; it focuses on brevity rather than plot structure order.
- The third option is correct. Flash fiction is extremely short (often under 1000 words, sometimes much less), so it omits many details that a short story (which is longer and more developed) would include, like extensive character backstory, detailed setting descriptions, or elaborate subplots.
- The fourth option is incorrect. Flash fiction, due to its brevity, typically has fewer characters and plot events than a short story.
Answer:
C. Flash fiction leaves out many details that would be included in a short story.
