Read the conversation at a peer review for Ben’s short story.

“It seems your central character has a really cool power: being able to hear what others are thinking,” Tom said.
“Actually, I think it was more of a jinx,” replied Ben. “Being able to hear what people are really thinking is one of those things you think would be great until you can do it.”

“It seems your central character has a really cool power: being able to hear what others are thinking,” Tom said.

“Actually, I think it was more of a jinx,” replied Ben. “Being able to hear what people are really thinking is one of those things you think would be great until you can do it.”

To determine which stage of the short story's plot is discussed in this passage, we need to analyze the conversation between Tom and Ben.

In the conversation, Tom mentions that Ben's central character has a cool power of hearing what others are thinking. Ben's response provides some insight into the nature of this power, stating that it is more of a curse or jinx because hearing people's true thoughts turns out to be less desirable than it initially seems.

Based on this information, the passage is discussing the Exposition stage of the short story's plot. The Exposition is the beginning of the story where the characters, setting, and main conflict are introduced. In this case, the conversation serves to introduce Ben's central character and his unique ability or curse. It sets the stage for the main conflict or challenge that the character will face throughout the story.

Therefore, the passage discusses the Exposition stage of the short story's plot.
