What is an anticlimax? a.) a reversal of the plot order b.) a warning to the reader c.) a shift from something important to something trivial d.) a statement by another author criticizing the novel

The correct answer is C. A shift from something important to something trivial

Explanation:

In literature the climax is the point in a story where the conflict of it reaches its peak, this means this point in a story is the one with more tension and after this, the conflict starts to be solved. On the other hand, an anticlimax means a transition from something important to something trivial, this usually happens as a result of the narrator or character creating a situation that is exciting and creates expectations in the reader but that is followed by a situation that is uninteresting and trivial which means the expectations of the reader disappear as there is something important or exciting but changes to something trivial.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
