Which term is used to visually track how events influence the plot's progression?

• A. Plot Profile / Plot Line
• B. Narrative
• C. Exposition
• D. DRTA

Answer: (A)

Plot line (also called plot profile) is a visual way to map events as they occur in the story and show how one event leads to the next, highlighting the progression from the beginning through rising action to climax and resolution. It helps students see cause-and-effect and how the plot builds. The other terms refer to other concepts: narrative is the story itself, exposition is the setup of the story, and DRTA is a reading strategy for predicting and thinking while reading, not a visual diagram of the plot.
