Answer:
Edmond Dantes is a young, handsome, and talented man. After returning home from a long voyage, he's set to become captain of a ship and also marry his beautiful fiancee, Mercedes. → exposition
Dantes's perfect life causes three men, Danglars, Fernand, and Caderousse, to feel extremely jealous. They conspire to get Dantes jailed for a crime he didn't realize he had committed. Their scheme succeeds when Villefort, the assistant crown prosecutor, realizes he can further his career... → rising action.
In prison, Dantes learns who set him up and caused his downfall. He soon escapes from prison and sets off on a quest for revenge. He vows to spend his fortune rewarding those who have been kind to him and punishing those who have harmed him. Over time, Dantes brings complete devastation upon his enemies, Danglars, Fernand, Caderousse and Villefort. → climax.
After completing his quest for revenge, Dantes does a good deed for his valued friend Maximilian Morrel. He reunites Morrel with a lost lover. This kind act brings great joy to Morrel. → falling action.
Dantes feels content after successfully reuniting the two lovers. He sails away to an unknown location, never to be seen again. → resolution.
Explanation:
I have been able to match the plot event account with their appropriate plot element.
In literature, exposition is known to be a literary device which is used to introduce characters, settings, events, etc. thereby giving a background information of such. In the given passage, we can see that Dantes was introduced first.
Rising action is known to be the part of the story that leads to the climax. In this part of the story, tension begins to build up. After the rising action, climax is what comes up next. It is known to be the highest point of tension in a story and after which, falling action begins.
Falling action occurs immediately after the climate. It is the part of the story where the problem/conflict begins to resolve. At this point, every loose end begins to be tied together. The falling action then leads to resolution. Resolution is actually the point where the conflict is completely resolved and story concluded.
