What type of narrative structure is used in a "framed narrative?"

  1. Linear

  2. Flashback

  3. Recurring

  4. Circular

The correct answer is: Circular

In a framed narrative, also known as a frame story, the overarching story serves as a frame for the shorter stories being told within it. This type of narrative structure involves the main story starting and ending in the same place, creating a circular structure. The other options are incorrect because linear narrative structure follows a chronological order, flashback narrative structure jumps back in time, and recurring narrative structure involves repetition of events or themes.
