The narrative structure of a text is...

  1. The sequence of events in a story.

  2. The language of the text.

  3. The way the text is organized.

  4. The style of the author.

The correct answer is: The sequence of events in a story.

The narrative structure of a text refers to the way a story is told and the sequence of events that make up the story. Option B, the language of the text, is incorrect because while the language can contribute to the overall structure, it does not define it. Option C, the way the text is organized, is also incorrect because organization is just one aspect of narrative structure. Option D, the style of the author, may play a role in the narrative structure, but it is not the defining factor. The correct answer is option A, as it encompasses the main elements of a narrative structure.
