Explanation: A falling action in a story is defined as the events that happen after the climax has passed. In the short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, Mr. White knocks the front door just to notice that nobody was there, just an empty road. This action takes place at the end, after the climax, therefore is part of the falling action of the story.
