Question

Which two lines reflect the rising action in this passage?

Ellie took pride in her archery skills. Among the 40 members of Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who could hit a target 50
meters away.
During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the archery club. On her first day, Ripley proved that she was just as good as Ellie. The
instructor even believed that she could perform better than Ellie. Gradually, Ripley took over Ellie's position as the top archer of the school. As a
result, Ellie lost a lot of friends who wanted to hang out with the new star archer.
Finally, the day of the state archery tournament arrived. As expected, Ripley quickly climbed the scoreboards; Ellie followed closely behind.
However, no one realized that Ellie had secretly been practicing for the final 50-meter round. When the final round was over, everyone was
astonished. Ellie had struck a perfect bull's-eye on all five attempts. She was the state champion!
Everyone rushed to congratulate Ellie on her victory. She walked over to her rival, vho was standing alone in a corner. Ellie took Ripley's hand
and thanked her. If it had not been for her, Ellie would have never trained so hard.
Over the next several years, Ellie and Ripley continued their rivalry. But when they were not on the field, they were the best of friends.

Answer 1

I'm not too sure if this is correct but I'll say it would be

"Among the 40 members of Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who could hit a target 50 meters away."

and

"During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the archery club."

Explanation: The reason that I say this, is because I would think that "Gradually, Ripley took over Ellie's position as the top archer of the school." would be the climax or the problem and usually the rising action takes place before the climax and these were the only 2 options before that.

I AM VERY SORRY IF IT IS WRONG

Edit: IT IS WRONG SORRRRRRRYy
