What part of the classic storytelling technique builds the audience's interest by increasing tension?

A) Preview to the story
B) Introduction to the story
C) Middle of the story
D) End of the story
E) Follow up to the story

C)The beginning of the story presents someone whom the audience can identify with in some way, and this person has a dream to pursue or a problem to solve. The middle of the story shows this character taking action and making decisions as he or she pursues the goal or tries to solve the problem. The storyteller's objective here is to build the audience's interest by increasing the tension: Will the "hero" overcome the obstacles in his or her path and defeat whatever adversary is keeping him or her from away from her goal? The end of the story answers that question and usually offers a lesson to be learned about the outcome as well.
