Answer 1

To arrange the components of a narrative arc in the correct order, you would typically follow this sequence:

1. **Exposition** (introduction of characters, setting, and background information)
2. **Rising Action** (development of the conflict and complications)
3. **Climax** (the turning point and the moment of highest tension)
4. **Falling Action** (events that follow the climax and begin to resolve the conflict)
5. **Resolution** (the conclusion where the conflict is resolved, and the story comes to a close)

So the final order should look like:

1. Exposition
2. Rising Action
3. Climax
4. Falling Action
5. Resolution
