Which term describes the events after the climax?

Rising Action Plot Falling Action Anecdotes

Correct Answer:

Falling Action

Explanation:

The main idea here is the structure of a story’s plot arc. After the climax, the story moves into the falling action, where the consequences of the turning point unfold and the tension eases as the plot heads toward resolution. This part ties up loose ends, resolves subplots, and shows how characters are affected by what happened at the climax. It’s what comes after the high point and before the ending. Rising action builds toward the climax, and the entire sequence of events is the plot, while anecdotes are unrelated short tales and don’t describe this portion of the arc.
