What type of literature uses traditional story structure and formula?

  1. Romance Novels

  2. Mystery

  3. Epic

  4. Fairy Tales

The correct answer is: Romance Novels

Romance novels typically follow a traditional story structure and formula, with a clear hero and heroine, a conflict that must be resolved, and a happy ending. Mystery novels, on the other hand, often follow a more complex and unpredictable structure, with plot twists and surprises. Epic literature, while it may follow a traditional structure or formula, is typically longer and more grand in scale, exploring larger themes and often involving multiple characters and storylines. Fairy tales, while they may have a traditional structure, are often more focused on fantastical elements and moral lessons rather than a formulaic plot. Therefore, A Romance Novels is the best answer.
