Which part of a story's plot occurs immediately before the climax? exposition rising action falling action resolution

Answers

The plot of a story is as follows-
Expostion~the setting of the scene and introduction of the characters
Rising Action~ (this is the answer) all the events that lead up to the climax
Climax~this is the peak of the book, one huge event (ex: someone dies, the characters win money, etc.)
Falling Action~ this includes the events that happen as a result of the climax event, it starts to wind down the story
Resolution~ this is the ending of the story (ex: a problem is solved, the guy gets the girl, etc.)

So in the plot sequence, it goes on like this > exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Rising action comes immediately before the climax comes.

Which section addresses concerns about high numbers of unwanted pets?A) Section 3
B) Section 4
C) Section 5
D) Section 7

Answers

Answer:

C) Section 5

Explanation:

I quote from the passage (that is what people were asking for in the comments)

"because of the abundance of homeless animals, pet owners who wish to have their animals cloned are unlikely to adopt an animal from a shelter."

This shows that the passage is talking about unwanted pets saying that those who clone are likely not to adopt when there is so many pets that need homes, by bringing this to attention they show concern for the high numbers of unwanted pets in the section of the passage.

Hope this helped!

Read this excerpt from act III, scene I, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: ROMEO: This gentleman, the prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain'd With Tybalt's slander,—Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my kinsman! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften'd valour's steel! What is the central idea of the excerpt? Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames Tybalt’s hatred towards the Montagues as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames his own cowardice and refusal to fight as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames Mercutio’s impulsiveness as the cause of Mercutio’s death.

The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain1 You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly--Tom's Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.2 Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would civilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:9) Judging from this passage, what may be said about the narrator?A) He is naive, but happy. B) He is smart, but sneaky.
