In what literary form are stories organized chronologically?

  1. Allegory

  2. Epic

  3. Novel

  4. Biography

The correct answer is: Biography

A biography is the most accurate response because a biography is a written account of a person's life, which is typically organized chronologically from birth to present. All other options are incorrect because they do not specify a chronological organization. Allegory is a symbolic representation of ideas and concepts, while an epic is a long narrative poem that may include non-linear storytelling. A novel is a fictional narrative that may or may not follow a chronological order.
