Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. An epilogue occurs after the main story's resolution and often gives a glimpse into the future. Here, the granddaughter foretells the future of family members, which is characteristic of an epilogue.
  2. A resolution is when the main conflicts of the story are solved. The family's struggle to keep the farm is resolved as the grandfather gives blessing for Ray and Juanita to take over, and Mary gives up her share.
  3. This scene is part of the rising action (introducing a problem - Marco's fall and related emotions/conflicts) rather than a resolution (problem - solving) or epilogue (post - resolution future glimpse).
