Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The resolution is when the conflict is solved. In the story, Sarah's free - throw helps win the game, so the resolution is that they won the basketball game.
  2. The falling action occurs after the climax. Here, after the ball goes in and they win, Sarah's teammates run to hug her, which is the falling action.
  3. The theme is the underlying message. The story about Taylor working hard and getting all A's shows that if you work hard, it will pay off.
