Question

in a narrative essay, how can a writer give background information that clarifies how the conflict arises?
by describing the falling action
by using more transitions
by using a flashback
by reflecting on the solution

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "By describing the falling action": Falling action occurs after the climax, so it doesn't provide background on how conflict arises.
• "By using more transitions": Transitions help with flow but don't give background info on conflict origin.
• "By using a flashback": A flashback shows past events, which can reveal the context and how the conflict started.
• "By reflecting on the solution": Reflection on the solution happens after the conflict is resolved, not for showing how it arose.

Answer:

C. by using a flashback
