PASSAGE
Episode 1, Exposition/Inciting Incident
Ben loved making videos, but he hated showing them to anyone. When the media teacher announced a school film festival, Ben signed up anyway, telling himself it was "just for fun."
The problem was the deadline: ten days.
Episode 2, Rising Action Part 1
Ben filmed a short comedy in his backyard. When he watched the footage, the sound was windy and his jokes fell flat.
He slammed his laptop shut. "This is terrible," he said.
His sister, Marisol, peeked in. "Can I see?"
"No," Ben snapped, then regretted it. Marisol's eyebrows lifted, and she quietly left.
Episode 3, Rising Action Part 2
The next evening, Ben tried again, this time filming inside. He still didn't like it. He almost deleted everything.
Then he remembered Marisol's face. He found her in the living room. "I'm sorry," he said. "I was stressed. Will you watch a rough cut?"
Marisol watched without laughing. Ben's stomach twisted.
After a moment she said, "Your shots are cool. But your story needs a clearer problem. What does your character want?"
Ben paused. No one had ever talked about his videos like they mattered.
Episode 4, Climax/Turning Point
Two days before the deadline, Ben rewrote the script. His main character wanted to win a basketball game but kept missing, until he asked a friend for help.
Ben filmed new scenes, staying up late to edit. When he exported the final video, his hands were shaking.
At the festival, Ben almost didn't submit. Then he saw Marisol in the audience, giving him a small nod.
Ben clicked "Upload."
Episode 5, Falling Action/Resolution
After the screening, a few students clapped and one said, "I liked the ending."
Ben exhaled, surprised by the relief in his chest. On the walk home, he told Marisol, "Next time, I'm showing you my first draft."
Which choice best describes the sequence of episodes that leads to the resolution of Ben's conflict?
