To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.

A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.

A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.

That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene. 

The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.

Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.

alekssr [168]

Fiction is used to teach History because it increases the curiosity of the kids and also presents multiple perspectives. But the disadvantages of using fiction to teach History are it might lead to inaccuracy, biasedness and incompetence.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using Fiction for teaching History can help the children to understand History and build up curiosity. It can help them experience a complex truth and put them back into History and past times. It presents the complexity of the issues and promotes multiple perspectives.

But it can be dangerous to fictionalize History because it can lead to inaccuracy, biasedness and incompetence. This can also lead to the destruction of the civilization of that time and the personality trashing because of fictionalizing History.
