Question

What is falling action in a story?

the end of the story, when all problems are solved
a series of occurrences that unfold after the climax
the introduction of the setting and the main characters
a conflict in which characters face their opposition

Answer 1

Correct answer: "a series of occurrences that unfold after the climax."

Briefly: the falling action follows the story's climax and shows the consequences of that turning point, winding down the plot and leading toward the resolution or denouement. The other choices describe the resolution/end (first), the exposition (third), and a conflict (fourth).
