- the background information provided in the story’s exposition
And this is the correct answer:
- the effect of plot events on a character’s growth or development
Explanation:
Most stories, including novels, are character driven: this means that is the characters (often a few, specially the protagonists and the main antagonists) who carry the story forward, and part of that process is the character's growth or development, which is influenced by the events of the plot.
This character growth is often the most important element of the novel's theme.
Answer:
3- C.
4- D.
Explanation:
'Dr. Heidegger's Experiment' is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The story is about five elderly friends who are gathered in an old cabin to perform an experiment. Dr. Heidegger, the host, has been gifted a vase of elixir of Fountain of Youth.
After Dr. Heidegger told his old friends about the elixir, Colonel Killingrew, according to the narrator did not believe him. Though the narrator describe that Colonel Killingrew did not believe him, but Colonel Killingrew's words suggests that he considered the possibilities of success of this experiment. Therefore, answer to question no. 3 is option C.
The object that has significant impact on the plot of the story is the vase that's been placed on a table that stood in the center of the room. The vase contains the gift of elixir of Fountain of Youth. The vase of water (elixir) on the table is an important object that has potential to influence the plot most dramatically. Therefore, answer to question no. 4 is option D.
D. Three is definitely a run-on sentence, but this option makes the most sense.
