Let me know if there's anything else I could do today!

Answer 2

The correct answer is "falling action". A falling action of a poem occurs when the climax of the story has passed, and the narrative is wrapped up and gives a closure. The excerpt from “How I Learned English" shown in the question, gives a closure by stating that the speakers does everything right but still feeling desperate with the problems.
