Answer:

  • Can be read in one sitting
  • Has one plot
  • Deals with a single problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

A short story is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a shorter scope it must present one plot, deal with a single problem, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A short story rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.

Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.
