Answer: B. to give insight into a character or multiple characters.
In the essay "I Just Couldn't Put It Down," the author tells us that the purpose of a well-crafted plot is to give insight into a character or multiple characters. The plot is the sequence of events in a story, which are connected by a chain of cause and effect. If a plot is well-crafted, the events will give us some insight into the characters that have bene introduced in the story. Understanding a character (including his motivations, conflicts, worries, passions, shortcomings, etc.) is what persuades the reader to keep reading, and to remain interested in the story.
