Question 15 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which sentence from "Thank You, Ma’am" is part of the falling action of the story?

Answer
A
“The strap broke with the single tug the boy gave it from behind.”
B
“Sweat popped out on the boy’s face and he began to struggle.”
C
“He could make a dash for it down the hall.”
D
“Eat some more, son,” she said.

Explanation

The falling action comes after the story’s main conflict and shows events moving toward a resolution. After Roger tries to steal Mrs. Jones’s purse and she takes him home, they share food and she treats him kindly. “Eat some more, son,” she said is part of this calmer, concluding moment, so the correct choice is D.
