Which sentence most clearly describes the climax in a story? O A. Max is on trial for a crime he knows he didn't commit. B. Max is reunited with his loving and grateful family. C. Max's lawyer tries her best to persuade the jury. O D. A member of the jury rises, "Not guilty," she says.​

Respuesta :

Answer: D. A member of the jury rises, "Not guilty," she says.

Explanation:

First, we must analyze every sentence. The first one: Max is on trial for a crime he knows he didn't commit. Well, this is actually EXPLAINING the situation Max is in. So, this is out the window.

Next, B says: Max is reunited with his loving and grateful family. Imagine this: Would this happen during, before, or after the trial for the crime? After. This is more of a concluding sentence.

And now for C: Max's lawyer tries her best to persuade the jury. This is explaining the climax! This is when Max is in deep deep trouble, but this is the most exciting part. So we'll leave this as a MAYBE.

Finally, for D: A member of the jury rises, "Not guilty," she says. Imagine this, the gavel is about to bang down, and then a witness(part of the jury) rises and raises her hand up. That is the climax. If this was a movie, this would be where the most anticipation happens in the story.

In conclusion, the answer is D.
