What type of narrative includes physical details of the setting while providing an objective account of events?

  1. Flashback

  2. Exposition

  3. Reflection

  4. Realism

The correct answer is: Realism

Realism is the correct answer because it is a type of narrative that focuses on accurately depicting the world and its settings, events, and characters. This includes providing physical details of the setting while also presenting an objective or unbiased account of events. A flashback, on the other hand, is a narrative technique that jumps back in time to a previous event. Exposition is the introductory part of a story that provides background information. Reflection refers to a character's inner thoughts and feelings about events, rather than a factual and descriptive account.
