Question

Which of these excerpts from "The Two Offers" is an example of narrative ellipsis?

Answer 1

I believe that it is C!

Answer 2

Answer:

C."At the time when this conversation took place, the deep trials of her life had passed away."

Explanation:

Remeber that a narrative elipsis refers to a literary device used by writers to omit parts of a sentence or an event. The reader has to fill those narrative gaps with their imagination. By doing this, the author can save time and advance on the story; usually the events omitted can be inferred by the audience. In this case, the writer omits the conversation as the important thing is how it affected the character, not it's content itself.
