In tim o'brien's "ambush," which element directly enhances the theme of the past's imprint on the present?

a) the frame-story structure
b) the character kiowa
c) the reference to fatigue toxins
d) the inability to discuss war nextreset

A) the frame-story structure.

A frame story is a narrative that is presented as a way to contain a second, more developed story (or series of stories). In this case, O'Brien receives a question from his daughter, Kathleen. She asks him whether he ever killed anyone. This story leads us to a second story, in which O'Brien reflects on his past and his role in the war. The use of a frame story structure enhances the theme that the past can leave a strong imprint on the present.

at the beginning of the story, elisa just has the small idea of wanting more attention, but as the story progressed, her desire for more attention grew larger. before she talked to the man with the wagon she was just focused on her chrysanthemums but when she talked to him and got some attention she enjoyed it, so she decided to get all dolled up for henry. but when they were on the way to dinner she was so upset because she saw the flowers on the side of the road and realized the man didn't take interest in her like she thought.

i cannot see any of the options
