Question

what is rising action in a story?
the problem being solved
the beginning of the story
the turning point
a series of events that lead to the climax

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "The problem being solved" refers to the resolution (denouement), not rising action.
• "The beginning of the story" is the exposition, not rising action.
• "The turning point" is the climax, not rising action.
• "A series of events that lead to the climax" matches the definition of rising action, as rising action builds tension and leads up to the story's climax.

Answer:

D. A series of events that lead to the climax
