which event best serves as the climax of the story?
bob arrives at the meeting spot and talks to the policeman.
jimmy walks past bob without revealing himself.
bob meets a man he thinks is jimmy, then is arrested.
the plainclothes officer gives bob a letter from jimmy.

Explanation:

The climax of a story is the most intense or turning - point event. In the context of the story (likely "After Twenty Years"), Bob meeting a man he thinks is Jimmy and then being arrested is the peak of the story's tension. This event reveals the conflict's resolution (Bob's arrest) and the twist (the man isn't Jimmy). The other options are either setup (Bob talking to the policeman), a sub - plot point (Jimmy walking past), or a denouement (the letter from Jimmy).

Answer:

C. Bob meets a man he thinks is Jimmy, then is arrested.
