Meaning
A narrative arc describes how a story's situation, tension and understanding develop over time.
A practical example
A research story may move from an initial hypothesis to contradictory evidence and then a revised explanation.
What to check
Not every explanation needs a dramatic climax. Choose a structure that follows the evidence instead of inserting conflict unsupported by sources.
