The correct answer is: The underlying structure and relationships in a story that act as catalysts for constructing meaning and distinguishing important ideas and events

Story schema refers to the underlying structure and relationships in a story that act as catalysts for constructing meaning and distinguishing important ideas and events. It helps readers make connections, predictions, and understand the plot, characters, setting, and themes of a story. This schema is essential for comprehending and interpreting the text effectively. Option A is not correct as it describes the concept of a syllable, not story schema. Option C is incorrect as reciprocal questioning strategy involves students taking turns asking each other questions in order to enhance comprehension. Option D is incorrect because it defines a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning in language, not story schema.
