Conflict and Resolution in "Amigo Brothers"

Question 9 • English 7 - LIU Summer

Which excerpt from "Amigo Brothers” is part of the story’s falling action?

Answer
A
The fight had created great interest in the neighborhood. Antonio and Felix were well liked and respected. Each had his own loyal following.
B
As the two climbed into the ring, the crowd exploded with a roar. Antonio and Felix both bowed gracefully and then raised their arms in acknowledgement.
C
The fear soon gave way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two amigos embraced.
D
The announcer turned to point to the winner and found himself alone. Arm in arm the champions had already left the ring.

Explanation

Falling action shows what happens after the story’s climax and begins to resolve the conflict. The climax is the fight between Antonio and Felix; the crowd’s cheering as they embrace shows the immediate aftermath and their friendship taking precedence over winning. Choice C, “The fear soon gave way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two amigos embraced,” is therefore part of the falling action. Choice D happens later, as they leave the ring, and is part of the resolution.
