Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows.

Whistling my worries away

How does the author use the falling action in this story?  

A) to demonstrate why Camila has decided to close the camp

B) to reinforce Benito’s failure with criticism from the campers’ parents

C) to explain why Benito is now thinking about becoming a drama teacher

D) to reinforce Benito’s success with feedback from the visiting representative

Answer:

The correct option is D) to reinforce Benito's success with feedback from the visiting representative.

Explanation:

In literature, <u>falling action is what comes after the climax, when the problem is solved.</u> In the short story "Whistling my Troubles Away", Benito's problem is coming up with something, some sort of presentation or play, for the children to do when their parents come to the camp. The climax is when Benito realizes he can use whistling - he whistles when he is nervous - to solve his problem. <u>After the kids' presentation, during the falling action, Benito is complimented on his performance by the representative and is offered the position in the drama program permanently</u>:

<em>“I know it’s not exactly Shakespeare or anything…” I began, but </em><em>he brushed that off. “You got them coordinated on a single task. They had fun. They gave a performance. What more do you expect from seven-year-olds?” </em><em>Camila gave me a grin and a big thumbs-up. </em>

<em>The campers were saying excited goodbyes. “That was the best part of my whole camp,” Mariana told me shyly, as she gave me a hug. </em>

<em>“Well, Benito,” Camila said as the last campers and parents left. “Luci comes back from her trip soon. But I really liked what you did with the kids. The job is yours if you still want it.” </em>

<em>I thought back to my conversation with Luci, just a few weeks ago. </em>

<em>“I don’t even like little kids,” I had told her. “And I certainly don’t know how to do drama with them.” </em>

<em>“You’ll figure it out,” Luci had assured me. And she had been right. </em>

<em>I smiled at Camila. “I’ll take it.” I said. “I know exactly what to do with the next group of kids.” </em>
