Question

what does the following story line most clearly reveal about the narrator? a princess is captured by a dragon. she feels bad for the dragon and befriends it. when the prince appears to rescue her, she beats him in a swordfight. a. the narrator is unreliable. b. the narrator questions reality. c. the narrator challenges tradition. d. the narrator is conservative.

Explanation:

The traditional fairy tale trope has a dragon as a villain, a princess as a helpless captive needing rescue by a prince. This story subverts that: the princess befriends the dragon (not fearing it as a villain) and defeats the prince who comes to "rescue" her, rejecting the passive princess role. This directly pushes against traditional narrative norms.

Answer:

C. The narrator challenges tradition.
