The destruction caused by hatred and desire
Answer:
The following excerpt from the novella shows dramatic irony:
"A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!" said Scrooge’s nephew. "He wouldn’t take it from me, but may he have it, nevertheless. Uncle Scrooge!"
Uncle Scrooge had imperceptibly become so gay and light of heart, that he would have pledged the unconscious company in return, and thanked them in an inaudible speech, if the Ghost had given him time.
When Scrooge's nephew, Fred, raises a toast in honor of his uncle, he is unaware that Scrooge is actually listening to his speech. In Fred's speech, he wishes his uncle a merry Christmas. But he believes that if his uncle were present, he wouldn’t accept those greetings from him. In reality, Scrooge is overwhelmed with joy at Fred’s words. Scrooge even forgets that his nephew and others at the party cannot see or hear him.

I would say that the element of plot structure that refers to the building up of conflicts and action is D. desis.
Climax happens at the peak of these conflicts. Lusis is the resolution of conflicts. Exposition is the introduction.
Desis means complication.
