Question

the iliad and the odyssey are extended _____ that lead to the emergence of the novel. narratives poems dramas plays

Answer 1

The correct answer is narratives.
That is the only correct answer among these because narratives tell very lengthy stories about certain events. Narratives aren't exactly poems, but they aren't prose either - they are something in between, which perfectly describes the Iliad and the Odyssey. Dramas and plays are the same thing, and they aren't any poems - they are epic/narrative poems.
