Explanation:

1. The resolution of a plot is the end - part where loose ends are tied up. Details leading to midnight, revealing treasure, initial reactions, or journey to a bookstore don't directly illustrate resolution.
2. The function of the resolution is to tie up loose ends. Building tension is for rising action, creating conflict is for the inciting incident, and introducing characters is for exposition.
3. The falling action shows the results of the conflict as things wind down after the climax. Rising action builds up to the conflict, exposition sets the stage, and the climax is the peak of the conflict.
4. The primary purpose of a plot is to give the story meaning by organizing events. Developing dialogue, establishing setting, and creating characters are important but secondary to the overall meaning - giving function of the plot.
5. The primary purpose of a narrative arc is to organize plot structure, giving a story a beginning, middle, and end. Developing setting and mood, creating dynamic characters, and writing dialogue are part of the process but not the main purpose of the narrative arc.
6. Tension in a story keeps readers engaged by creating suspense and interest. Establishing setting, ending the plot, and introducing characters are different functions.
