Ans:

a) Peripetia: Peripetia, a term from Aristotle's Poetics, refers to a sudden reversal of fortune experienced by a character in a play or narrative. It is a pivotal moment in the plot where the protagonist's circumstances undergo a dramatic change, often leading to a shift in the overall direction of the story. Peripetia can take various forms, such as the unexpected revelation of a character's true identity, the discovery of a hidden truth, or the unforeseen consequences of a character's actions. This reversal of fortune is a key element in classical tragedy, serving to heighten tension, evoke emotional responses, and propel the narrative towards its resolution.
