Question

Which sentences most likely belong in the resolution paragraph of a narrative? Select two options. Before I could even explain, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I have lived on a farm since I was two years old, when my parents decided they would raise sheep. "I can replace the window," he said, putting his arm around my shoulders, "but I can't replace you." The closer we got to the theater, the more my stomach churned at the thought of seeing Frank. The audience stood up, cheering wildly, and I've never felt so relieved in my life.

Answer 1

Answers:

• "I can replace the window," he said, putting his arm around my shoulders, "but I can't replace you."
• The audience stood up, cheering wildly, and I've never felt so relieved in my life.

The resolution paragraph of a narrative is the section in which the main conflict of the story is resolved. In the first section, the character appears to be having an epiphany. An epiphany is a sudden realization, most often triggered by a new event or piece of information. Epiphanies are often found towards the end of narratives.

In the second example, the character's conflict is the anxiety regarding the reaction of the audience. As the audience stands up and cheers, the conflict is resolved. This is why the character feels "relieved."

Answer 2

Definitely this one; The audience stood up, cheering wildly, and I've never felt so relieved in my life.
