What is the climax of a story?

  1. The most intense moment of the story.

  2. The resolution of the story.

  3. The introduction of the characters.

  4. The point of foreshadowing.

The correct answer is: The most intense moment of the story.

The climax of a story is the most intense and exciting part of the plot, where the conflict reaches its peak and the main character faces their biggest challenge. This is usually the most memorable and emotional part of the story. Option B, the resolution, comes after the climax and is when the conflict is resolved. Option C, the introduction of the characters, takes place at the beginning of the story and is not the climax. Option D, the point of foreshadowing, is a literary device that hints at future events and is not the same as the climax.
