The correct answer is "the downfall of the protagonist"
This is the whole purpose of plays, according to Aristotle. The protagonists in tragedies are usually people better than us who die for a great cause, and their death awakens both positive and negative emotions in us. This is called catharsis.
What it is saying is it is like having a peanut butter jelly sandwich without the bread. It is ridiculous and something that is needed to make a whole of something. So like per say, you have a teddy bear but you buy that teddy bear but it has no filling in it. So it's like claiming to be a car salesman, without the cars. I hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't make sense.
