The two statements that best describe what happens in the climax of a story are:

1. **The characters confront the conflict head-on and fully address it.**
2. **The peak of the story’s tension and the height of the action are reached.**

**Explanation:**
- The climax is a critical turning point in the story where the main character faces the primary conflict directly. This moment often involves high stakes, intense emotions, and significant action, making it the peak of the narrative's tension.
- It is at this point that the outcomes of the characters' decisions and actions become clear, leading to the resolution of the conflict, but not necessarily concluding the story, as that’s typically reserved for the falling action and resolution that follow the climax.

The other options refer to other parts of the narrative structure or do not accurately reflect what the climax is.
