Question

1. martin has an excellent idea for a novel, but before he begins writing, he must conjure a background for his story. what method will most likely assist him with this process?

brainstorming
story mapping
plotting the location
journaling

Explanation:

Story mapping is a method used in writing (a sub - field of Arts) to outline the background, characters, plot, etc. of a story. Brainstorming is more about generating ideas in a general sense. Plotting the location is too narrow as it only focuses on one aspect (location) of the story background. Journaling is more about personal reflection and recording daily events rather than structuring a story's background.

Answer:

story mapping
