Question 20 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

Which best describes why “Ambush” contains a frame story?

Answer

The narrator situates a flashback of his experience in Vietnam between related events that take place after the war.

The narrator describes events that take place in two different countries: the United States and Vietnam.

The narrator situates a flashback to his boyhood between related events that take place in the present, when he is an old man.

The narrator describes events that take place in two different locations: a living room and a jungle.

Explanation

A frame story places one narrative inside another. In “Ambush,” the narrator begins with events after the war, recalls the moment he killed a young Vietnamese soldier during the war, and returns to the later events. That makes choice A correct; simply describing two countries or locations does not create a frame story.
