A bildungsroman, or coming-of-age
novel, recounts the psychological or moral development of its protagonist from youth
to maturity, when this character recognizes his or her place in the world.
Select a single pivotal moment in the psychological or moral development of the
protagonist of a bildungsroman. Then write a well-organized essay that analyzes
how that single moment shapes the meaning of the work as a whole.

But in order to answer this question I
must write an essay.

These questions tell me that I need to pay close attention to detail while looking at the bigger picture of the question. The AP test doesn't want a comprehension answer, it wants an in depth answer to see if you understood the text well and can analyze a text.
