Answer 1

Correct answers:
- It can add strength and reinforce the story’s theme.
- It can make connections between various plot elements.

Why: an epiphany is a sudden insight that clarifies a character’s understanding, often resolving internal conflict, highlighting the theme, and tying together earlier clues or motifs. It typically does not introduce a new external conflict, nor does it primarily function to show similarities across an author’s other works.
