Question

ead the passage from the end of a narrative essay.

When I talk about the experience now, I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, I’m envious of how simple life was before the accident. But on the other, I’ve grown so much as a result of everything that happened that, in an odd way, I’m grateful.

The most likely reason this passage was included at the end of the narrative is because the narrator is

setting the scene.
explaining the main obstacle.
reflecting on an experience.
identifying people.

Answer 1

reflecting on an experience.

The passage looks back on the events and expresses the narrator’s mixed feelings and personal growth, which is reflection. The other choices (setting the scene, explaining the main obstacle, identifying people) describe tasks usually done earlier or elsewhere in a narrative.
