Question

How can structuring a narrative in chronological order create a sense of surprise for the reader? (1 point)
• The reader becomes aware of events only as the characters do.
• The reader can learn about the events from the most recent to the oldest.
• The reader can tell what time events happened in the story.
• The reader fails to see big events coming because there are no clues.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: **The reader becomes aware of events only as the characters do.**

By structuring a narrative in chronological order, the reader experiences the story in the same sequence as the characters, which can create a heightened sense of surprise as they uncover information and events alongside the characters, rather than being forewarned or having prior knowledge of what is to come.
