Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the term for a story or poem that is designed to teach a moral lesson?

Allegory

Narrative

Fable

A fable is a type of story or poem that often includes animals or inanimate objects as characters and is meant to teach a moral lesson. It is distinct from other options because both allegories and narratives can have a variety of themes and purposes, whereas fables are specifically designed for moral instruction. Irony also does not fit because it is a literary device used to convey meaning rather than a full story or poem.
