Answer 3

The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles.
Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as
the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man
Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of
villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him.
"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her

Answer 4

Your're right it could be the climax. Personally I think this is all subjective, I could view it as both conflict and climax, because the boy could be conflicted about stoning his own mother. I really hate this stuff, but I think I will go with your answer C. Climax
