What is the best plan for developing a linear plot?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

o Construct a timeline of events.

Explanation:

A linear plot structure is when the events of the story are presented in such a way that they do not move back and forth with the narration's timeline. This means that the story moves in a smooth flow, with the events narrated in chronological order.

The best plan for developing a linear plot is to construct a timeline of events. This will enable the writer to see and decide which event comes first and which is the end. By constructing the timeline, the events such as the exposition, the rising action, the climax, or even the resolution will be clearly 'labeled' and placed to formulate a linear plot.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
