So far, I had not opened my eyes. I felt that I lay upon my back, unbound. I reached out my hand, and it fell heavily upon somet

hing damp and hard. There I suffered it to remain for many minutes, while I strove to imagine where and what I could be. I longed, yet dared not to employ my vision. I dreaded the first glance at objects around me. It was not that I feared to look upon things horrible, but that I grew aghast lest there should be nothing to see. At length, with a wild desperation at heart, I quickly unclosed my eyes. My worst thoughts, then, were confirmed. The blackness of eternal night encompassed me.I struggled for breath. The intensity of the darkness seemed to oppress and stifle me. The atmosphere was intolerably close. I still lay quietly and made effort to exercise my reason. I brought to mind the inquisitorial proceedings and attempted from that point to deduce my real condition. The sentence had passed, and it appeared to me that a very long interval of time had since elapsed.How does Poe create suspense in this excerpt?a. by suggesting that the narrator is reacting with an unrealistic degree of panic.
b. by indicating that a long time has passed since the narrator was sentenced.c. by having the narrator reach out and touch something unidentified.d. by describing the narrator's distress as he tries to figure out where he is.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Poe is using a detailed description of the uncomfortable situation that creates a level of suspense to lead the reader to come up with a conclusion of where he was and what was the result of the previous circumstances that took the narrator to that place.

I believe the correct sentence should be; “Why do you think the visitors didn’t obey the rules?” Mother asked. A question mark is needed for the question and Mother must be capitalized.
