Question 9 • English 3

Which best describes the sequencing of “Ambush”?

Answer
A
It relates events in the exact order in which they occurred.
B
It contains a narrative that is told within another narrative.
C
It includes multiple flashbacks about a variety of events.
D
It recounts the narrator’s reflections of past experiences.

Explanation

The story opens in the present, when the narrator’s daughter asks whether he has ever killed anyone. He then tells the story of an event from the war, before returning to the present. That makes the war story a narrative within the present-day narrative, so D is the best description.
