Which story element gives the reader the most insight into the positive aspects of a culture's code of behavior? a. where the story takes place b. when the action of the story takes place c. who tells the story d. how the protagonist overcomes his or her obstacles

The answer is D: How the protagonist overcomes his or her obstacles.

The protagonist, or main character, in a story is usually the key component to interpret any literary story. How a protagonist faces obstacles and overcomes them, or even fails to overcome them, is the best way to understand any cultural formation at any given time or moment in history; that is to say, it is the best way to comprehend what the protagonist´s culture (even if purely fictional) deems relevant, valuable, and desirable.
