What is a flashback? (1 point)
O a hint about future events in a story
O a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past
• a plot device where two or more stories are linked by a common character, event, setting, or theme
• a minor story told alongside the main story
B. a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past
The correct answer is option B: a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the question and each of the answer options provided.
Option A suggests that a flashback is a hint about future events in a story. However, this is not the correct definition of a flashback. A flashback specifically refers to an interruption in the narrative flow to present events that have already occurred in the past, not events that will happen in the future.
Option B correctly defines a flashback as a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past. This interruption allows the audience or reader to gain insight into past events that are relevant to the current story.
Option C describes a plot device where two or more stories are linked by a common character, event, setting, or theme. This describes a different narrative technique called intertextuality or interweaving storylines, not specifically a flashback.
Option D refers to a minor story told alongside the main story. While this may be a valid storytelling technique, it does not accurately define a flashback.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past.
The correct answer is:
O a scene that interrupts the story's chronological flow to tell events from the past
