Final answer:

The correct order of the elements of plot is exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.

Explanation:

  1. Exposition: Here, you're setting the scene, introducing characters, and preparing the reader for the journey.
  2. Rising action: In this part, things start to happen. You (or your characters) encounter conflict, set out on a journey, meet people, etc.
  3. Climax: This is the peak of the action, the main showdown, the central event toward which your story has been building.
  4. Falling action: Now things start to wind down. You (or your characters) come away from the climactic experience changed at the very least, you are wiser for having had that experience.
  5. Resolution: This is the end of the story, where loose ends are tied up and the main conflict is resolved.
