Question

1. which event from \the first seven years\ is an example of falling action?

○ sobel quits his job as feld’s assistant.
○ feld realizes that miriam knows sobel loves her.
○ feld asks sobel to wait before proposing to miriam.
○ sobel confesses his love for miriam to feld.

Explanation:

In The First Seven Years, falling action occurs after the climax (Feld learning Sobel loves Miriam and Sobel's outburst). Sobel quitting his job is an event that follows the peak tension, resolving some immediate conflict and moving toward the story's resolution, fitting the definition of falling action. The other options relate to the rising action or climax of the narrative.

Answer:

A. Sobel quits his job as Feld's assistant.
