The correct answer is conflict.
The answer is "conflict."
To answer this multiple-choice question, you need to understand the concept of the plot in a story and determine which option best fits that description.
The plot refers to the sequence of events that make up a story. It includes the exposition (introduction of characters and setting), rising action (development of conflict), climax (turning point or the most intense part of the story), falling action (events that follow the climax), and resolution (conclusion).
Now, let's look at the options:
A. "Setting" refers to the time and place in which the story takes place. While the setting may play a role in the plot, it does not encompass the entire sequence of events. The setting is more about the context of the story rather than the events themselves.
B. "Conflict" refers to the main problem or opposition that characters face. It drives the story forward and creates tension or suspense. Conflict is an essential element of the plot and often shapes the events that occur.
In this case, the correct answer to the question is option B, "conflict." The plot of a story centers around the conflict because the conflict is what drives the events and shapes the story.
