which describes an antagonist in a story? 1.An evil henchman who kidnaps the country's favorite princess 2.A sidekick who makes jokes constantly but does little else 3.A character that is the focus of the story and is changed by it 4.An ogre who is one of many helpful friends during a journey

Answer 1

An antagonist is the "bad guy" in the story, and usually fights against the protagonist ("good guy").

Based on the answer choices, the one that describes an antagonist is:

1) An evil henchman who kidnaps the country's favorite princess

The wording says he is "evil" and he also kidnapped a good person in the story, because she is the country's "favorite" princess. This causes conflict, which is what the antagonist usually creates/causes.

The other options describe protagonists or others that have little to do with the story.
