(25 POINTS)
Miranda sat in the high school computer lab typing like mad. It was 8:30 a.m., and her 1,000-word report on The Catcher in the Rye was due at 9:00. For the past hour, she had been flipping through the ratty pages of the old paperback trying to discern the major plot points and then typing out a few sentences that she hoped were logical. The only reason she was able to get into the lab that early was because she was one of Mrs. Brody’s assistants, but a couple of hours in the lab didn’t make up for weeks of zoning out in English class.

Miranda could kick herself, but she was too busy skimming through her notes and attempting to remember something—anything!—that Mr. Giuffreda had talked about. Mr. Giuffreda was a tough grader, and Miranda did not work well under pressure—not a great combination. On top of all that, Miranda could hear her mother’s voice in her head: “One more bad grade in English, young lady, and no more soccer team.” Miranda failed to see the relationship between soccer and book reports, but she also knew her mother wasn’t kidding. When she had slacked off in geometry last semester, her mother had taken away her cell phone for a month. Another time, when Miranda had missed her curfew—again and again—she had gotten grounded for two weeks.

Still typing, Miranda thought about Mr. Giuffreda. He expected nothing but the best—and then some. He never gave extensions unless someone had a family emergency, and he had a terrible habit of brushing off even the most creative excuses. Anyway, Miranda didn’t need an extra day or two. She needed time to read the entire novel again. Miranda ran a word count—361. She checked her watch—8:45. She flipped to the end of the book trying desperately to remember the ending, but nothing was coming to her. Why hadn’t she paid attention?

At 8:55, she had a whopping, miraculous 402 words. The homeroom bell had rung five minutes ago, and students were filing into the lab for first period. Miranda’s fingers were still flying, but by 8:59, Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave so she could start class on time. Miranda saved her work on her USB drive, collected her pages from the printer, and slung her knapsack over her shoulder. Then she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffreda’s class as slowly as possible, even though she knew she would be late and would probably get detention.

Which paragraph in the story contains the falling action in the plot?
The Three Sisters and the Troll
In the deepest part of the forest lived a little old man and his three daughters. The oldest daughter loved to read; the middle daughter loved to
sew; and the youngest daughter loved to explore the woods around their cottage.
One day, the oldest daughter asked her father for a new book to read. The middle daughter asked for thread. The youngest daughter asked for
a basket to carry the things she found on her explorations. The father agreed to walk into town to buy the things that his daughters needed. He
put on his cloak and his hat, kissed each daughter on the forehead, and told them to stay inside. Before leaving, he reminded them not to
answer the door to strangers.
A hungry troll watched as the father left. As soon as he was out of sight, the troll knocked on the door. The sisters thought it was their father
returning for something he forgot. They opened the door and came face-to-face with the troll. The troll lunged at the girls and tied them
together. Then he filled a pot with water and started adding herbs and vegetables stored in the cottage. He was going to cook the girls into a
stew. As he threw in the last vegetable, the water started to boil.
The oldest girl whispered to her sisters that she had a plan. She had read that onions could freeze a troll in his tracks. She tricked the trollinto
taking an onion from the cupboard by saying it was a delicious yellow apple. He greedily grabbed it and was frozen in place. The middle sister
figured out how to untie the ropes around them. She used them to sew the troll into a trap.
When their father returned, he was surprised to see the frozen troll sitting in the room. The youngest sister led them to a small cave far from
their cottage, where they could leave the troll. The girls and their father returned home to enjoy their new books, new thread, and new basket.
And the troll never bothered them again.
