Question

Which of these situations is most likely to be an example of a setting that will influence the plot of a story?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. A strong storm takes out the electricity on an island.

Explanation:

In narratives, the setting refers to the context in which a story develops including the geographical location, the geographical conditions, the time and cultural context. This element can influence the story in the case the setting represents a challenge or conflict for characters or there are changes in it that can affect the characters. This means, the situation that is most likely an example of setting that can influence the plot of a story is "A strong storm takes out the electricity on an island" because in this case, there is an important change in the setting and this directly affects the character which means there can be a twist in the events of the story.

Answer 2

I believe C is correct, because the lack of electricity could possibly impact the character's decisions.  The storm could also make it inconvenient to travel.  The other options would not affect the plot.
