Which term is the umbrella for the structure that includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution?

• A. Plot Diagram
• B. Setting
• C. Mood
• D. Atmosphere

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how a story is organized—the plot and the sequence of events that drive the narrative. Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution are the steps that make up the plot. The best choice is Plot Diagram because it refers to the overall plot and the visual way we map its progression, showing how events build to the climax and then resolve. The other terms describe aspects of where and how the story feels (setting for time/place, mood and atmosphere for feeling), not the sequence of events that constitute the plot.
