Answer 1

Answer:

A story about a detective trying to solve a mystery.

Explanation:

Narration has to do with the way a story is told and the devices employed by the narrator to bring life to his narration.

There are two types of narrators:

1. The reliable narrator: In this type of narration, the narrator is accurate and provides readers with accurate information.
2. The unreliable narrator: Here, the narrator lacks credibility and leaves some important parts of narration so that the reader can fill the gap themselves and draw their own conclusions. They can lie or modify the truth.

If a story is being narrated about a detective who is solving a mystery, then it would most likely be told by an unreliable narrator because he can deliberately obscure facts or withhold information in a way to attempting to solve the mystery.
