Answer 2

Answer: The part when tension is the most important is on the conflict  due to the relevance that the problem trough a story.

Explanation:

A story is a narration that a narrator does to tell something about someone or something. The word narration comes from the Latin word narration or narrie which means tell (a story). A narration could include real facts, descriptions (of people, things, moments, etc.), fictional facts and environments or anything a writer could imagine.

Narrations have a specific structure that provides it with a sequential order that makes it easier to understand both for the writer and the reader. Sometimes this structure is not applied in chronological order in a story, but if someone analyses it carefully it will be at least the three main parts:

1. The beginning: the approach of the events. Here you will be able to say what type of narrator the story has and what will be the main theme of the narration.

2. The conflict: Here is the moment when the tension of the narration is very important because what happens next with the problem presented in this section will define the next part of the narration.

3. The end: In this part, the conflict has a resolution (this can be to be better or worse, but it is still a final of the events). The conclusion appears and the story ends.

Thinking in this structural division of the story, the part when tension is most important is on the conflict  due to the relevance that the problem has here and general trough the story.
