Question

Which best describes the suspense technique of flashback?

An image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. It later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point.

Details of the story outside of the chronological storyline are provided to the audience, often as a memory.

Illusions of explosions and other events are presented, often using computer-generated imagery to seem realistic.

The screenwriter lets the audience know something the main character does not, usually something important to the plot.

Answer 1

A flashback is a memory, so it is the second option.

Answer 2

Details of the story outside of the chronological storyline are provided to the audience, often as a memory.

A flashback is an interruption in the plot to tell about something that has happened in the past, usually a memory, that can help the audience better understand a character or event. For example, if the main character is afraid of going to the hospital, the story may flashback to a time the character went to the hospital to say goodbye to his dying grandfather. The audience now understands that the character associates hospitals with death rather than wellness.
