Question

Which event does not take place during the rising action? Antigone is arrested for burying Polyneices. Ismene reveals that Antigone is engaged to Creon’s son. Creon sentences Antigone to death. Antigone tells Ismene of her plan to bury Polyneices.

Answer 1

Rising action reveals the conflicts of the story. From the choices above, Creon sentences Antigone to death doesn't seem to belong in the rising action. It should fit the climax of the story because it is where everything has started from Antigone being locked up inside a room instead of killing her and then committing suicide, and Haemon and Eurydice died, too.
