As its name suggests, the resolution is the moment in a story where the <u>drama or conflict from the climax is solved or clarified. </u>It also works as the <u>closing of the story.</u>
In the passage, the situation described is where the drama and intense situations take place. <u>A terrifying situation leads Declan to think about big actions and decisions he’ll have to make. </u>That's why this passage is representative of the climax.
