Hey! The answer your teacher is looking for might be subjective. That said, my response might not be correct even if it's valid.
Characteristics:
* Story presents clear, fast worldbuilding
* Story can convey a comprehensive theme in a short period of time
* Story has a concise narrative without dragging / rushing through key points.
Conflict:
A 2004 book by Christopher Booker lists 7 widely recognized archetypes for storytelling:
Overcoming the Monster
Rags to Riches
The Quest
Voyage and Return
Comedy
Tragedy
Rebirth
I'm gonna assume you can guess the conflict(s) of each archetype based on the names; just choose three of them.
Characters:
This is very subjective, but the most obvious answer is a protagonist, antagonist, and static / flat character (doesn't change throughout the story, serves some kind of supporting role).
Conditions:
Time and place; since it's such a simple answer, your teacher probably wants you to explain how these factors affect character behavior / the progression of a story.
I hope this helped!

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut.
During the party for Billy and Valencia’s eighteenth wedding anniversary, Billy is greatly upset by the barbershop quartet (219-30; 172-80 in the shorter edition). Summarize what happens to him in this moment and why. What do you think Vonnegut is saying about the nature of memory in this section of the book (and indeed throughout the book)?
Answer:
The barbershop quartet reminds Billy of the German officers when they saw the destruction caused by the bombing of Dresden. Billy breaks down and realizes he has some "big secret" inside. Vonnegut´s ideas about the nature of memory appear in Billy´s suppressing his emotion during the war, to end up having his later civilian life shape by what happened there.
Explanation:
Traumatized by the horrors of war, Billy´s memory constantly takes him into vivid flashbacks, showing that he hasn´t truly processed what he has gone through.
