Answer 1

The following correctly describes the main purpose of the narrative in this paragraph is b. Creating conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

The main purpose of the narrative in this paragraph is to create conflict. The paragraph describes a character who is feeling bored and is looking for something to do, but the only options available are tasks that they have already done. This creates a sense of tension and frustration, as the character is unable to find anything new or interesting to do.

The paragraph also sets up the possibility of the character encountering obstacles or challenges as they try to find something to do, which will further contribute to the conflict.

The paragraph does not focus on developing character (option a) or resolving conflict (option d), as there is no resolution or resolution in sight. Additionally, while the paragraph does provide some setting details (option c), the main focus is on the character’s emotions and their desire for something new and exciting, which is not the primary purpose of setting in a narrative.

So correct option is opiton.b. Creating conflict"
