Students fix three narrative errors — a brave knight described as cowardly, a dialogue sentence missing its comma, and a story that ends without a resolution. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about narratives, the protagonist, and the word for the story's problem. Part C has two short-answer questions about why stories need a resolution and what makes a character interesting.
Correcting character inconsistency and missing resolutions establishes the core requirements of a complete narrative.

Part C: Short Answer

A problem gives the characters something to work through, and the resolution shows how they solve it, which makes the story complete and satisfying.
2. What makes a character interesting to read about?
A character is interesting when they have clear traits and motivations, such as being brave or wanting to help a friend, because readers can understand why they act the way they do.
