Question

.
Where is the most likely place for a writer to add a plot twist that will surprise readers?

as soon as the story's rising action begins with characters attempting to solve the conflict

at the very end of the story, when readers think they know the conflict's resolution

in the beginning, right after the story's conflict and characters are introduced

in the middle, as the characters are close to resolving the conflict in the story

Answer 1

at the very end of the story, when readers think they know the conflict's resolution

Placing a twist at or near the end upends readers’ expectations after they’re primed for a resolution, making it most surprising and impactful.
