Answer 2

The main types of plot in writing include linear, where events occur in a chronological order; nonlinear, where events are presented out of order; episodic, where the story is made up of loosely connected episodes; and parallel, where multiple plotlines unfold simultaneously. Each type can create different narrative structures and impacts on the reading experience.
