Question 1

options:

Theme Narrator Plot Setting

I believe it to be plot

The correct answer is plot. Theme is the work's main idea (the "why" of the work), and there usually are more themes in a single work. Narrator is the "I" of the story, someone who tells it. The setting is the "when and where" of the story, the time-place frame. The plot is the "what" - what happens.
