Answer 1

In Herman Koch's *The Dinner*, the elements that most effectively move the plot forward are primarily **dialogue and the passing of time**. The story unfolds through the conversations between the characters, revealing their thoughts, conflicts, and the underlying tension as they navigate their relationships and the events they discuss. The setting of a restaurant and the passage of time during the meal create a confined space where the dialogue becomes crucial to the development of the plot.
