In that singular moment of realization, the true identity of the negotiator was revealed to her, shifting the entire course of her mission."

  3. C
    Anti-climax

Cevap

The correct narrative device demonstrated in the passage is Anagnorisis.
Anagnorisis (or discovery) is the structural moment in prose or drama where a character experiences a sudden recognition of truth or identity, transitioning from ignorance to full awareness. In this passage, Nkechi's sudden recognition of her brother via his scar exemplifies this device.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the dramatic context of the passage
Nkechi initially believes her brother is dead, but suddenly recognizes him by a childhood scar.
Identifying the central event of the excerpt reveals the character's internal cognitive transition.
2
Map the character's transition to plot terminology
The character moves instantly from ignorance (believing her brother is dead) to awareness (recognizing the diplomat as her brother).
In classical literary and narrative theory, the sudden transition from hidden truth to recognition is termed anagnorisis (discovery).
