read the passage from 	he willow-wren and the bear.\ when the fox felt the first sting, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air; at the second sting, he was forced to put it down for a moment; at the third, he could hold out no longer, screamed, and put his tail between his legs. when the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle. then the king and queen flew home to their children and cried: \children, rejoice, eat and drink to your hearts content, we have won the battle!\ but the young wrens said: \we will not eat yet, the bear must come to the nest, and beg for pardon and say that we are honourable children, before we will do that.\ then the willow-wren flew to the bears hole and cried: \growler, you are to come to the nest to my children, and beg their pardon, or else every rib of your body shall be broken.\ so the bear... which excerpt from the passage encompasses the falling action of the story? ∘ \when the fox felt the first sting, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air.\ ∘ \when the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle.\ ∘ 	hen the king and queen flew home to their children and cried: children, rejoice, eat and drink to your hearts content, we have won the battle!\ ∘ \and now at last the young wrens were satisfied, and sat down together and ate and drank, and made merry till quite late into the night.\

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine the falling action, we analyze the story structure. The falling action occurs after the climax (the battle's outcome) and leads to resolution.
- Option A describes the fox's reaction during the battle (rising action or climax build - up).
- Option B states the animals fled and the birds won, which is the climax (the turning point where the outcome is decided).
- Option C: After the battle (climax), the King and Queen return and announce the victory, and then the young wrens make a demand, and the willow - wren confronts the bear. This shows the events after the climax (battle won) that lead towards the resolution (bear's response, etc.), fitting the falling action.
- Option D describes the resolution (the young wrens are satisfied and celebrate).

# Answer:
C. "Then the King and Queen flew home to their children and cried: 'Children, rejoice, eat and drink to your heart’s content, we have won the battle!'" But the young wrens said: "We will not eat yet, the bear must come to the nest, and beg for pardon and say that we are honourable children, before we will do that." Then the willow - wren flew to the bear’s hole and cried: "Growler, you are to come to the nest to my children, and beg their pardon, or else every rib of your body shall be broken."
