Answer

None of the provided options offer a formal definition of plot.

Explanation

A formal definition of plot in literature is typically described as the sequence of events that make up a story, particularly as they relate to one another in a pattern or sequence, through cause and effect, or by coincidence. None of the given options accurately reflect this definition.

Option 1:

"Logan's car landed on the table with a slight bump, but that was enough of a jolt to send the phone crashing to the floor" - This is a descriptive sentence but does not define plot.

Option 2:

"A void is slammed and sudden bow, like the feeling you get when you hear the words 'pop quiz'" - This is a metaphorical statement and does not define plot.

Option 3:

"Hot coffee sloshes into the cup, holder as they wind down the potholed road" - This is another descriptive sentence and does not define plot.

Option 4:

"John is both a noun and a verb, so source is needed to determine whether the word is being used to describe a sudden shock or the act of causing a" - This is an incomplete sentence and does not define plot.

A more accurate definition of plot would be: "The plot is the organized pattern or sequence of events that make up a story. It is the foundation of a novel or story, around which the characters and settings are built."
