[ Answer ]

Events that build tension in a story

[ Explanation ]

The events that build tension hook the reader in, and they are the ones that lead to the tip of the story. Think of it as a roller coaster. We are going up a huge hill, and the closer we approach the top, the slower we go. That is the events that build tension. We are waiting for the story to reach the top, maximum part. Once we reach the top, all we can go is down.
