Read the excerpt from "the story of an hour" and look at the plot diagram. there was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. what was it? she did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. but, she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air. where does this excerpt from the story fit on the plot diagram? exposition rising action climax falling action

Rising actio.

I feel it is rising action because she is waiting for something to come, and I think when that thing comes it will be the Climax. But if the thing isn't there yet then it is the rising action.

The excerpt from the story fits in the RISING ACTION of the plot diagram.

Explanation:

The excerpt lets the reader know that something is about to happen. The exposition of the story is the very beginning, where the context is set up and the characters are introduced. The climax is the main part of the story, usually where the conflict or problem takes place. The rising action is what builds up to the climax, it gives some insight about what might happen next. Finally, the falling action is where the resolution takes place and the plot ends. In this case, the excerpt sets the mood and leaves the reader expectant of what might happen, the climax.
