Which structure includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution?

• A. Plot Pyramid
• B. Exposition
• C. Rising Action
• D. Climax

Answer: (A)

Think about how a story is built from beginning to end. A five-part structure that brings in the setup, builds tension, reaches a turning point, shows what happens afterward, and then wraps everything up is known as the plot pyramid (also called Freytag's Pyramid). It includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution as a whole. The other options are only individual parts of the plot—exposition is the first stage, rising action is the buildup, and the climax is the turning point—so they don’t describe the complete framework. Plot Pyramid is the label for that complete five-part structure.
