Answer 2

The non-existing balcony helped in plotting the climax of the story as it allowed Ausable to dupe Max and escape from the police.

Explanation:

• When Ausable found Max in his room pointing a pistol at him, he was quite shocked but he used his presence of mind and immediately framed the story of a non-existing balcony.
• This allowed him to confuse Max and outsmart him by taking advantage of the order of events. When the waiter knocked at the door, Ausable told Max that it must be police and threatened him that if they see him, he would be shot.
• By the time Max could come out of this shock, the knock got louder and this diverted his attention and gave enough time to Ausable to jump off the window and die without revealing anything and proving himself as the super spy.
• Thus, balcony played a vital role in laying the climax of the story.
