What type of literary work expects the reader to interpret meaning from the text?

Narrative
Drama
Fiction
Expository

The correct answer is: Fiction

Fiction is the correct answer because it is a genre that is meant to be open to the reader's interpretation and analysis. Narratives typically have a predetermined storyline, while dramas are meant to be performed and are guided by the script. Expository works are meant to communicate information to the reader rather than leaving room for interpretation. Therefore, fiction is the most suitable literary work that expects the reader to interpret meaning from the text.
