Historical fiction in my opinion would be to put the reader right there in the past. So my best answer would be B.
Answer:
1. Theme
2. Conflict
3. Character
4. Plot
5. Setting
Explanation:
1. It is theme because it shows a lesson learned. (Instead, he should have learned to trust in himself to overcome obstacles.)
2. Its conflict because the duck is in a pickle and needs to find a solution to his problem. (he needed to save his ducklings from the wolf and find his way home before nightfall. He’d have to figure out how to outsmart the wolf.)
3. It is character because it tells us bout her personality that she isn't the strongest but is determined to protect her little lambs. (She wasn’t the strongest sheep in the herd, but she was determined to protect them.)
4. It is plot because it has Exposition: (The story is about a young mermaid and her sister, who find a mysterious cave and decide to explore it) Rising Action: (In the cave, they discover an evil witch, who poisons the mermaid’s sister.) Climax: (The mermaid travels to find a magical octopus, whose ink is a cure for the witch’s poison.) Falling Action: (The mermaid returns with the ink.) Resolution: (She saves her sister.)
5. It is Setting because it tells us where this story is taking place (had a small shop in the middle of the village, where they would create the most beautiful shoes for the king.)
The purpose a plot could serve is the events that make up the story/essay
