Final outcome of the story in which the conflict is resolved in some way

• A. Climax
• B. Resolution
• C. Falling action
• D. Rising action

Answer: (B)

The final outcome where the main problem is solved is called the resolution. After the buildup of events and the moment of greatest tension (the climax), the story moves into the falling action, which shows the effects of what happened and how things begin to settle. The resolution then wraps things up by explaining what happens to the characters, resolving any lingering questions, and revealing the new situation for everyone involved. In short, the resolution is what happens after the conflict is resolved and the story comes to a close. The climax is the peak moment of suspense, the falling action leads toward closure, and the rising action is all the buildup before the climax.
