Which part of a story typically resolves the conflicts presented?

  1. Exposition

  2. Rising action

  3. Climax

  4. Resolution

The correct answer is: Resolution

The resolution is the part of a story where the conflicts that have been developed throughout the narrative come to a conclusion. This section provides closure for the characters and the plot, often tying up loose ends and revealing the outcomes of the conflicts presented earlier. In the resolution, the struggles that the protagonists faced are addressed, allowing for a sense of completion and helping the audience understand the final implications of the story. During the resolution, readers see how the events of the climax affect the characters and their circumstances, providing insight into their development and the story's themes. This is a crucial element of storytelling, as it gives meaning to the experiences of the characters and the choices they made throughout the narrative.
