Explanation:

Match each plot element to its standard definition in narrative structure:

1. Exposition introduces the story's core components (characters, setting, initial conflict).
2. Rising action is when the central conflict develops and builds tension.
3. Climax is the highest point of tension, where the conflict reaches its peak.
4. Falling action follows the climax, as the conflict begins to wind down toward resolution.
5. Resolution reveals the final outcome and wraps up the story.

• rising action → The conflict starts to build.
• climax → The conflict is at its peak.
