Select the paragraph from the article that BEST explains why rising action is an effective writer's tool.


A.Have you ever kept reading well into the night because you just couldn't put a book down? The rising action of a plot refers to the events that provoke or cause conflict, build tension and generate interest. It adds that edge-of-your-seat element that motivates you to keep reading until you reach the story's climax.



B.You can find rising action in many stories, from a complex novel to a simple children's book. Take "The Three Little Pigs" as an example. The rising action in that story takes place as the pigs set out and begin to make their own decisions about building materials for their houses.


C.As you read a novel, pay attention to clues that predict trouble down the road. It could be anything from the appearance of a character who seems shady and untrustworthy, to the description of a clear morning marred by one dark cloud on the horizon. These are examples of foreshadowing, a frequently used tool that signals what is to come in a story.


D.What is the first sign of trouble? Were you a bit unnerved or uneasy when you learned that this innocent child would walk through the dangerous forest alone? What about when the wolf appears to speak with Red Riding Hood?
