Question

read the excerpt from maryam’s personal narrative.
the vertical garden that mr. lopez taught me how to build not only changed the way we eat, but it helped my family spend less on groceries. when the school board accepted my proposal to start a program to teach families to grow their own food, i knew just who to call to help me make it work. working with mr. lopez helped me speak up about the things i believe in, and i hope that my ideas about helping our neighborhood have access to good food will result in a positive change.
which part of the narrative does this paragraph most likely come from?
○ the exposition
○ the rising action
○ the falling action
○ the reflection

Explanation:

The excerpt describes the impact of building a vertical garden (learning, family spending less on groceries, proposal acceptance, personal growth) and reflects on how it helped the narrator grow and plan for change. In narrative structure, "reflection" involves looking back on events and their significance, which matches here. Exposition introduces characters/setting, rising action builds conflict, falling action resolves it—none fit as well as reflection.

Answer:

the reflection
