Detailed explanation-1: -Crisis means decision or dilemma. In a story, it’s the do-or-die moment, that last chance where the protagonist must gather all their strength, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and courage in one final effort to defeat the opposing forces guarding the prize.

Detailed explanation-2: -Falling Action: The action falls immediately after the turning point. Events that occur in the falling action are the after-effects or consequences of the climax.

Detailed explanation-3: -The climax is the turning point of the story when the conflict is resolved and the main character reaches their goal. The climax often occurs near the end of the story, but not always. It can sometimes occur in the middle of the story (known as a mid-point climax) or even at the beginning (known as an inverted plot).

Detailed explanation-4: -In the structure of a play the climax, or crisis, is the decisive moment, or turning point, at which the rising action of the play is reversed to falling action. It may or may not coincide with the highest point of interest in the drama.
