answers for rising action
To determine the answer to this question, we first need to understand the different elements of a plot structure. Usually, a plot structure consists of five key elements: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
The exposition is the introductory part of a story where characters, setting, and background information are introduced. The rising action is the series of events that build tension and increases the conflict in the story. The climax is the turning point or the most intense part of the story where the conflict reaches its highest point. The falling action is the events that occur after the climax, leading towards the resolution. And finally, the resolution is the part of the story where the conflict is resolved, and loose ends are tied up.
Now, let's analyze "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe to determine the answer to the question. In the story, the narrator, who is disturbed by the old man's eye, carefully plans and executes the murder. As the story progresses, the tension and anxiety build up, leading to the climax, which is when the narrator kills the old man.
After the climax, the story starts to wind down, leading to the resolution. Here, the narrator starts to feel guilty and anxious about the crime he has committed. As the guilt builds up inside him and he starts to hear the imaginary sound of the old man's heartbeat, he can't bear the pressure anymore. Therefore, the point at which the narrator feels forced to confess can be considered the falling action or the resolution.
So, in answer to your question, the narrator's feeling of being forced to confess in "The Tell-Tale Heart" can be classified as part of the falling action or the resolution of the story. Option C, resolution, is the correct answer.
