- E) The narrator provides the series of events that lead to the most intense point of the story.
Answer: The correct answer is option: A) The narrator tells how the main character acts to resolve the conflict of the story.
Explanation: The falling Action occurs after the climax and it's when things start to work themselves out in the story. It tells how the main character acts in order to resolve the conflict of the story and by doing this, it wraps up the narrative, resolves its loose ends, and leads toward the ending/closure. This is why the Falling Action is one step before the Resolution.
