Question

"It seems your central character has a really cool power: being able to hear what others are thinking,” Tom said.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. "Rising Action". In literature, Rising Actions are defined as all the background circumstances that create suspense and lead to the climax. In the excerpts shown in the question it can be noted that the central character can hear other's people thoughts but it is seen as a jinx. These are circumstances that lead to the climax of the story.
