Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

I wasn't so sure, I was thinking about A but that isn't related to "building up"...

Answer 3

The climax is the moment of greatest emotional intensity or tension.

Answer 4

Yeah, so A is incorrect...

Answer 5

It's not exposition because that the introduction to characters, setting and the situation of the story.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I know it's not the climax, because that's the turn of events, or when the main conflict is resolved.

Answer 8

Yeah, it's not C either.

Answer 9

Nope, so that leaves B and D.

And according to that site, "desis" means "complication" and "lusis" "resolution".
So it can't be resolution.

Answer 10

So that narrows it down to only one. ^.^

Answer 11

Yep. Desis. :#
