When should a writer use multiple plotlines in the same story?(1 point)
Responses

if they are loosely related to each other

if they are in the same genre
if they are in the same genre

if they share characters and a setting
if they share characters and a setting

if they are unrelated to each other

Answer 7

A writer should use multiple plotlines in the same story if they share characters and a setting. This allows for a more cohesive narrative and enriches the storytelling by exploring different dimensions of the characters and their interactions within the same context.

Answer 8

Plot line #1: A giant corporation is threatening the environment in Alaska. Darren, an environmental lawyer, is about to have the fight of his life.

Plot line #2: Lucia is a tax lawyer in Texas. She finds out that some businesses have not been paying their fair share of taxes. They will soon if she has anything to say about it.

How effectively would these plot lines work in the same narrative?

effectively, because both characters are lawyers

Answer 9

The most accurate response is not effectively, because the characters are far apart. While both characters are lawyers and deal with issues related to fairness and legality, the geographical separation (Alaska and Texas) and the differing nature of their legal battles (environmental vs. tax law) suggest that integrating these plot lines into a single narrative may be challenging without a compelling link connecting them.
