Answer 1

In "The Meet," Ariel faces a moral choice after her rival Maria loses her lucky swim hat; the resolution sees Ariel winning the race but deciding to give Maria her hat back, suggesting that real victory requires fairness for all involved.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story "The Meet" introduces us to Ariel, the protagonist, who aims to triumph over her swim race rival, Maria—the antagonist. The conflict arises when Maria loses her lucky pink swim hat, presenting Ariel with a moral dilemma. In the rising action, Ariel envisions herself as the race champion; however, the climax is reached when Maria's hat is lost, escalating the tension.

The falling action confronts Ariel with a choice: to return the hat or keep silent. Ultimately, the resolution sees Ariel return the hat, even though she emerges victorious, indicating that the win feels hollow without fairness. The theme posits that true victory comes when all parties can succeed.
