Answer 1

To create a coherent narrative arc, the typical order of story components is as follows:

1. Exposition - This is usually the first component of a story, where the setting, characters, and background information are introduced.
2. Rising Action - This part builds tension and develops the conflict as the characters encounter challenges.
3. Climax - The turning point of the story, where the main conflict reaches its peak.
4. Falling Action - The events that follow the climax, leading toward resolution and closure of the story.
5. Resolution (or Denouement) - The final component where conflicts are resolved, and the story concludes.

So the order from top to bottom would be:

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

You can drag and arrange these components according to this sequence.
