Answer 2

Exposition => D) We learn that the woman died after developing a cough. In the exposition, we still don't know where she went and how she died.
Rising action => B) The main character looks for his lover's tombstone. His grief is transformed into anguish because he can't find where she was buried.
Falling action => C) The main character falls unconscious on the grave. After the climax, when his beloved rises from her grave with the others and reveals to him that she had actually gone out to cheat on him, the falling action happens when he is incapable of dealing with the truth and falls unconscious. The conflict (her premature death) is thus resolved.
Denouement => A) We are left to wonder what was real and what was a dream. This is a poetic diminuendo that has the purpose of problematizing the whole story: we know that we're dealing with an unreliable narrator, who is deeply disturbed by his dramatic love story, but also incapable of owning his problems.
