Read this excerpt from "eleven".

in my head i'm thinking how long till lunchtime, how long till i can take the red sweater and throw it over the school yard fence, or even leave it hanging on a parking meter, or bunch it up into a little ball and toss it in the alley. except when math period ends mrs. price says loud and in front of everybody, "now rachel, that's enough . ."

b. it is the rising action because rachel reacts to conflict.
c. it is the climax because rachel experiences tension.
d. it is the falling action because rachel solves her problem.
