Resolution is usually found at the end of a literary work, and it's the part where everything unfolds and the reader gets answers.

Conflict, in literature, is a struggle between the opposing sides, and it usually involves the main character's stuggle with something/ someone.

The falling action happens after the climax and after the conflict in the story has been resolved.
