Question

Most stories use a narrative arc to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole.

Drag each story component to put them in the correct order. At the top, put the component that is usually first in a story. At the bottom, put the component that is usually last.

Answer 1

Certainly! The typical narrative arc components are usually ordered as follows:

1. **Exposition** - This is where the story begins, introducing characters, setting, and background information.
2. **Rising Action** - This contains the series of events that build up to the climax, where conflicts begin to arise.
3. **Climax** - This is the turning point of the story, the moment of greatest tension or conflict.
4. **Falling Action** - This section follows the climax, where the story starts to wind down and the consequences of the climax are explored.
5. **Resolution** (or Denouement) - This is the conclusion of the story, where conflicts are resolved and the story comes to a close.

So, in correct order from top to bottom, it would be:

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