Question

Read the passage. Which stage of plot is this?

Alex's stomach was in knots during tryouts until he saw an opposing forward heading toward his net with the ball. Alex charged at him. When the player got close enough, Alex slid at him with his arms and legs spread out. He wrapped himself around the ball and prevented the goal! Alex knew he couldn't celebrate yet, though. There was still a lot of time left in the game for the other team to get the ball past him into the net.

A. exposition
B. rising action
C. climax
D. falling action

pls help!

Answer 1

either B or C, but I have a feeling it's C

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems the culmination of the game and results of his tryouts would be the climax so this action he is taking is a rising action, essentially propelling the plot forward towards the climax.
