Answer:

B. The conflict has been resolved and order restored — at the expense of the Pequod, its crew, and its captain.

Explanation:

The falling action is the section of a narrative that follows the climax of a story. During the climax, the story peaks in terms of excitement. After this moment, the narrative slows down. The conflicts are resolved and the story approaches its end. This is the section of the story that describes the falling action, as it follows the death of Ahab and his crew.

The answer is:

B. The conflict has been resolved and order restored — at the expense of the Pequod, its crew, and its captain.


In literature, the falling action comes after the climax, when the main conflict has been reached and finds a resolution. In "Moby D*ck," by Herman Melville, the falling action occurs after Captain Ahab and his crew are killed by the whale.

A message to your teacher explaining why your homework is always late
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

I Didn’t Understand the Homework

This excuse works better for science, maths or questions-based homework rather than essays. That doesn't mean it won't fly if the assignment called for you to write at length; you might simply explain how you didn't quite get the idea of what you were supposed to write about.

This excuse hits two birds with one stone when you combine it with 'could you explain it to me?' because you'll get help with your homework and a deadline extension, especially if you actually don’t understand the homework assignment.

Beware of this pitfall: Teacher might ask if you talked with any of your classmates to see if they could explain what you were supposed to do. You might say that you asked your parents or an older sibling for help but avoid mentioning any mate your teacher might know, just in case s/he tries to verify your story.

Explanation:

have a great day!
