Which characteristics describe fiction? select each correct answer. the ending results in happiness. the work focuses on one or more characters. the action is arranged into a plot. the events happened in real life. the story involves a conflict that a main character faces?
It isn't exclusive to fiction, but fiction writing has characters.
A plot is made of events that are given in a particular sequence. Again, it's not exclusive, but you need to have events to have a story.
Conflict is the thing the character overcomes. It can be external (a knight vs a dragon, for instance) or internal (a character overcoming feelings of shame from childhood trauma, perhaps).
What it isn't: Fiction can certainly end unhappily (I would say that Great Expectations does not end happily, for example).
Events happening in real-life make the story non-fiction.
