What is the role of the protagonist in a work of fiction?

To exhibit characteristics of a villain
To reveal the setting and plot
To resolve the conflicts in the story
To provide a moral example

The correct answer is: To resolve the conflicts in the story

The protagonist is the main character of a story and is often faced with conflicts and challenges that they must overcome. They drive the story forward and are responsible for its resolution. Option A is incorrect because the protagonist is typically the hero or a morally good character, not a villain. Option B is incorrect because setting and plot are elements that can be revealed by any character, not just the protagonist. Option D is incorrect because while the protagonist can serve as a moral example, it is not their main role in a work of fiction.
