is always part of the narrative.
determines the story's characters and events.
provides information about characters and events.

Answer 1

The correct option would be:

provides information about characters and events.

The narrator may or may not be the same as the author, and they are not always a character within the narrative. Additionally, the narrator's perspective can influence how characters and events are presented, but they do not directly determine them.
