The falling action of a story comes directly before the climax.
a. true
b. false

The correct answer is B. False

Explanation:

The falling action and the climax are two different stages in plot development. In the case of the climax, this refers to the section of the story with the highest point of conflict. Besides this, the climax occurs after the exposition (background of the story) and the rising action (development of the conflict).

On the other hand, the falling action involves the resolution of the main conflict, which occurs right after the climax, and before the story ends in the denouement stage. This implies the falling action of a story comes directly after the climax rather than before it, and therefore, the correct answer is False.
