"About five years ago, my sister, Mary, and I decided to go on an adventure to Kauai."

A. Exposition
B. Rising action
C. Resolution
D. Falling action
E. Climax

Answer :

This excerpt would fall under exposition.
Exposition refers to the actual introduction to a story. Here, the author is telling us how she and her sister decided to start an adventure together. This is a typical introduction into what is going to happen next. Rising action refers to the creation of conflicts; resolution refers to the solution of conflicts; falling action refers to events after the conflict has been solved; climax refers to the most intense part of a story.
