Exposition, Climax, Resolution

The idea
The stages have standard names: exposition setting the situation, rising action complicating it, climax at the turn, falling action, and resolution or denouement. The glossary defines none of them, though it defines plot. They are the vocabulary a structure question will use.
In practice
Five stage names, none in the glossary.
Where people slip
The question will use these words.
