Writing a Narrative about Overcoming a Challenge — Quiz
Question 6 • English Language Arts 9
Read the paragraph from Viktoria’s narrative essay. Student Work As I read the rules, I became even more nervous. Fifty artists had been accepted to the competition. Each artist would have just three hours to create a painting. The topic of the painting would be revealed right before the artists would be allowed to start, so there was no chance I could brainstorm ideas ahead of time. Why would Viktoria most likely include this paragraph in the middle of her essay?
Answer
A
to explain how she overcomes her obstacles
B
to introduce the main challenge she faces
C
to explain some of the obstacles she faces
D
to discuss how the challenge changes her
Explanation
The paragraph lists details that make the competition difficult: fifty artists are competing, there is only three hours to paint, and the topic is unknown beforehand. These are obstacles Viktoria faces, so the paragraph explains some of the obstacles she faces. It does not describe how she overcomes them or how the challenge changes her.
