Question

What part of the plot does this passage come from: "I get up and slip off my sweat pants and then I see Gretchen standing at the starting line, kicking her legs out like a pro."?

Exposition
Rising action
Climax
Falling action
Resolution

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Rising Action.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rising Action refers to the simultaneous incidents in a plot that work together to create suspense, arouse tension and curiosity.

In the book "The Runner's Literary Companion: Great Stories and Poems About Running" the narrator creates imagery that connotes that something is about to happen. A race is about to begin, and from that sentence above, we don't know how it will end. Of course, we want to. And that's suspense, the effect of Rising Action.
