Answer:
- <em>Can be read in one sitting</em>
- <em>Has one plot</em>
- <em>Deals with a single problem. </em>
Explanation:
A<u> short story</u> is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a <u>shorter scope</u> it must present <u>one plot</u>, deal with a <u>single problem</u>, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A <u>short story</u> rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.
Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.
Elimination is always the best. Pick out the worst possible answers, so it'll give you less choices to pick from. Or you could always pick c. I wouldn't advise that. Good luck on your test. :)
At once a voice arose among

Answer:
1. I have my car fixed.
- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.
2. I had my car fixed.
- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.
Explanation:
Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.
