The officers were satisfied. My MANNER had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat and while I answered cheerily, the

y chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat, and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definitiveness—until, at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my ears.
No doubt I now grew VERY pale; but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased—and what could I do? It was A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND —MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for breath, and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly, more vehemently but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God! what COULD I do? I foamed—I raved—I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!—no, no? They heard!—they suspected!—they KNEW!—they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think.

A Three-Point Turn
algol13

The line that most clearly creates the climax is "'I don't know, I don't know,' Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. 'I just get so tired...'"

<h3>What is climax in literature?</h3>

The climax of a story is the moment where the tension that has been building up reaches its breaking point. It is in the climax that the most important or difficult conflict has to be faced by the characters.

In the story we are analyzing here, the climax happens when Becky's anxiety reaches a breaking point. She is disappointed at herself and anxious about the driving text. She finally breaks down, which is shown in the lines:

"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."

From here on, we have the resolution as her brother Justin reasons with her and helps her deal with her anxiety. Thus, with the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer for this question.
