question 5 of 10
which scenario is the best example of a frame narrative?

a. a detective discovers that the kidnapper she’s been investigating
is actually her other personality.

b. four survivors of world war ii sit around a table and share their
war stories with a naïve reporter.

c. barnyard animals conspire to overthrow the humans on the farm
and start their own government.

d. a boxer tries to put himself in the mind-set of his opponent, but his
dislike for the man overcomes his empathy.

Explanation:

A frame narrative (or frame story) is a story within a story, where a main narrative encloses one or more embedded narratives. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: This is about a detective and her split personality, no embedded stories.
• Option B: The main narrative is four WWII survivors sharing their stories with a reporter. Each war story is an embedded narrative within the main frame of them sitting around the table. This fits a frame narrative.
• Option C: This is a single story about barnyard animals overthrowing humans, no embedded stories.
• Option D: This is about a boxer's mindset and empathy, no embedded stories.

Answer:

B. Four survivors of World War II sit around a table and share their war stories with a naïve reporter.
