What could be inside? My fingers worked more slowly now, pulling back the tape that held the box shut. As soon as the flaps sprung open, I peered inside. But I inwardly shuddered when I discovered three pairs of bright neon-green socks. Oh no, I thought. These look hideous. I would never wear something like these, but I also don't want to hurt my aunt's feelings. What should I do?

A. I furrowed my brow and bit my lip, uncertain what to do next.

B. This excerpt would most likely appear in the beginning of the narrative.

C. in the middle of the narrative.

D. toward the end of the narrative. at the end of the narrative.

Sofia · Answer 1

This excerpt would most likely appear in the middle of the narrative.

Explanation:

This excerpt represents the conflict of the story, and it usually appears in the middle of the plot's development. The conflict is what gives the story a different direction, because it builds up tension and suspense, making the story captivating for the reader/spectator. After this usually comes the climax and resolution of the story.
