in the middle of the story, but before the reader can predict the outcome

before the action of the story, when the writer is describing the setting

Answer 1

The correct answer is at the resolution of the story, as the reader discovers how the story ends. This is when the writer often reveals the implied universal theme, as the events of the story come together and the message or underlying meaning becomes more clear to the reader.
