    What sums up the story?

    • Conclusion

    • Introduction

    • Body

    • The title of the story

    Correct Answer
    A. Conclusion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Conclusion" because the conclusion is the part of the story that summarizes the main points and brings the story to a close. It is the final part of the story where the author wraps up the plot and provides a resolution or final thoughts. The conclusion often ties together the different elements of the story and leaves the reader with a sense of closure. Therefore, the conclusion is what sums up the story.

    Correct Answer

  • 4. 

    What is the first step you should take when writing a narrative?

    • Write your conclusion

    • Choose an interesting topic

    • Think of a thesis statement

    • Decide the plot

    Correct Answer
    A. Choose an interesting topic
    Explanation
    When writing a narrative, the first step should be to choose an interesting topic. This is important because the topic sets the foundation for the entire narrative and determines the direction and focus of the story. By selecting an engaging and compelling topic, the writer can capture the reader's attention from the beginning and ensure that the narrative is engaging and enjoyable to read. Without a well-chosen topic, the narrative may lack interest and fail to connect with the audience.

    A narrative is ___________.

    • A detailed chronological story

    • Comparing and contrasting stories

    • A detailed biography

    • Summarized story

    Correct Answer
    A. A detailed chronological story
    Explanation
    A narrative refers to a detailed chronological story that presents events in the order they occurred. It provides a comprehensive account of events, characters, and settings, allowing the reader to follow the story's progression. This type of storytelling helps create a clear and coherent picture of the events, making it easier for the reader to understand and engage with the narrative.

  • 6. 

    The writer should not use transition words (eg. 'therefore', 'however') in narrative writing? State true or false. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. The use of transition words in narrative writing is not prohibited. Transition words can be used to enhance the flow and coherence of the narrative, providing a smooth transition between ideas and helping the reader follow the story more easily. While it is important not to overuse transition words and disrupt the natural flow of the narrative, their appropriate and strategic use can greatly improve the overall quality of the writing.

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is not an example of descriptive language?

    • Smells

    • Sounds

    • Logos

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Logos
    Explanation
    Descriptive language refers to using words or phrases that create a vivid image or sensory experience for the reader. In this context, "Logos" is not an example of descriptive language. Logos is a rhetorical appeal that relies on logic and reason to persuade the audience, rather than using sensory details or imagery. Therefore, it does not fall under the category of descriptive language.

    • Argue the topic

    • Give details of the story

    Correct Answer
    A. Hook the reader
    Explanation
    The introduction should hook the reader by capturing their attention and making them interested in reading further. It should engage the reader and create curiosity about the topic or story being presented. The introduction should be compelling and intriguing, enticing the reader to continue reading.

    Correct Answer
    A. Introduction
    Explanation
    The introduction of a piece of writing typically contains background information and the thesis statement. It provides an overview of the topic and sets the stage for the rest of the essay or article. It introduces the reader to the main ideas and arguments that will be discussed in the body paragraphs. Therefore, the introduction is the section that contains both the background information and the thesis statement.
