a summary of the plot
a humorous event
a sudden realization or insight
an introduction of characters

Explanation:

• Question 9: Reflection in a narrative allows the narrator to express thoughts and feelings about events. It doesn't eliminate the need for a conclusion (a conclusion can still be present), it doesn't solely focus on external events (it's internal as well), and while it can affect pacing, its main significance is the expression of internal thoughts/feelings.
• Question 10: Using transitional phrases and logical sequencing helps create a smooth progression of events. Avoiding conflict/resolution (conflict is often part of a story's progression), writing in stream - of - consciousness (can be disjointed), and random jumping between events are not ways to create a smooth progression.
• Question 11: The theme in a narrative is the central idea or message of the story. The chronological order of events is the plot structure, the setting is the time/place, and the main character's name is just an identifier, not the theme.
• Question 12: An epiphany in narrative writing is a sudden realization or insight. A summary of the plot is a synopsis, a humorous event is just a comedic moment, and an introduction of characters is about character establishment, not an epiphany.

Answer:

1. It allows the narrator to express thoughts and feelings about events
