Explanation:

In literature, we can define the exposition as the part of the story where the narrator introduces the characters, the setting, and the theme to readers. This where the author sets the stage for the story to happen.

Rising action happens after the exposition, when the environment for conflicts to arise has been established. Rising action consists of a series of events, smaller conflicts, that will eventually lead to a major conflict.

Climax is the major conflict mentioned above, the point where tension is at its highest. This is where readers ask themselves what the main character will do to solve the problem or to deal with the situation.

Falling action takes place after the climax, when the conflict is being solved or has already been solved. Tension decreases, and readers can already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Finally, resolution is the ending of the story, when the narrator ties all loose ends.
