Brynne is reading a story about an airplane pilot during World War II. She has reached the part of the story in which the pilot is flying over enemy territory in an airplane. The plane is hit by gunfire, and the pilot has no ability to steer the plane. Later, the navigation equipment and radio fail when heavy storms damage the plane. As night falls, the pilot is facing extreme danger. What part of the plot do these events belong to? A. resolution
B. exposition
C. rising action
D. falling action

The answer to your question is rising action.

The resolution and exposition would be giving some sort of information of what’s to come, or background knowledge and this piece doesn’t have that so you can already rule out half.

Rising action and falling action are like opposites. Rising action leads to the climax, and falling action leads to the resolution, which is the end of the story.

This piece seems to be leading up to a bigger event, from the evidence of “As night falls, the pilot is facing extreme danger.”

Further stating this again, the answer is
C. Rising Action for those reasons listed above.

The answer would be d.hope this !

Aparagraph would strengthen it the most
