Answer 1

Answer: A. lusis

Lusis (meaning "untying") is the Greek word for the denouement, or falling action. The term refers to everything that happens after the climax. It is the moment when all the threads that have been woven together start to unravel until we reach a conclusion. It starts at the turning point, or peripeteia.

Answer 2

the answer is Lusis

Rising action is Desis

Excessive pride, violating the bounds set for humans is hubris

missing the mark is hamartia
