Answer 1

To evaluate the definitions provided:

(I) Characters: What events in the story help the character solve the problem? - This is not a correct definition of "characters." Characters are the individuals in the story, while the events that help them solve problems would relate more to the plot.

(II) Setting: What is the central problem of the story? - This is incorrect. The setting refers to the time and place where a story occurs, while the central problem of a story is typically referred to as the conflict.

(III) Plot: Which year does the event take place? - This is incorrect. The plot is the sequence of events that make up the story and encompasses the conflict, climax, and resolution, rather than just the time period in which events occur.

(IV) Theme: What message does the reader get? - This is correct. The theme is the central message or underlying idea that the author conveys through the story.

(V) Conflict: Where does the event take place? - This is incorrect. The conflict refers to the central struggle or problem in the story, whereas the location of the events is part of the setting.

Based on the evaluations:
- (IV) is the only correct definition.

So, the correct response is that (IV) is correctly matched.
