Question

The playwright wanted to include the Mother Figure __________ in her play, so she added a wise grandmother to the script.

Answer 1

choices:

friend
plot
foil
archetype

major hint: notice how the question is describing a broad type of character ("mother figure" is a general term that refers to a character (often female) that serves some protective/guiding/motherly influence))

which choice best describes this idea of a "broad type of character"?
