Which word most closely means a narrative?

• A. Adept
• B. Account
• C. Adaptation
• D. Accumulation

Answer: (B)

A narrative is a recounting of events or a story. The word that fits this meaning most closely is account, because an account is a report or description of what happened—the kind of storytelling or narrative you’d read about events. Adept means skilled, so it doesn't relate to a story. Adaptation refers to a version of a work changed for a different form, not the act of telling the story itself. Accumulation is about gathering things, not describing events. So account is the best match for a narrative.
