The climax of the passage is expressed in answer B
Answer:
B). Foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life.
Explanation:
The short story 'Desiree's baby' authored by Kate Chopin which is set in the pre-civil war era and emphasizes the racial tension between a couple regarding a baby. As per the question, Desiree's obscure origin(African ancestry) presages the ambiguous end of her life. The author through the story aims to describe the evils of racism that lead people to act in a morally corrupt manner and reflect the hollow perceptions of whites considering themselves to be superior. Desiree's enigmatic end is proof of this shallow and corrupt attitude of whites who prioritize race above the human-self. Thus, <em>Desiree's obscure origin 'foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life'.</em>
B. Wolves and moose have a predator-prey relationship. Wolves hunt and kill moose, which causes the population to decline. When there’s more wolves, more moose die. Less wolves, less moose die, so the population will rise. They rely on one another, the wolves keeping the moose’s population in check, and the moose serve as food to the wolves.
Answer: I believe this is falling action
Explanation: The story is speaking in past tense, almost as if the climax had already happened, therefore it is probably the falling action.
