Question

question 1 of 5
what is a tension that runs throughout the entire story?

a. the tension within the narrators family

b. the tension of gang violence

c. the tension of nature versus nurture

d. the tension of democrats versus republicans

Explanation:

In literary analysis (subfield of Arts - Literature), a tension running throughout a story is often a central conflict. Family - related tension is a common overarching theme in many narratives, while gang violence (B) is more situational, nature vs nurture (C) is a broader philosophical theme less likely to be the main tension of an entire story, and political party tension (D) is too specific and less common as a universal story - wide tension. So the most probable tension running throughout the story is the tension within the narrator's family.

Answer:

A. The tension within the narrator's family
