Answer:

A. by alluding to the visitor as being Herbert.

Explanation:

In this passage, we learn about the scraping of the chair, the knocks that echo through the house and the difficulties that Mr. White goes through in order to find the paw. However, what the author does not suggest is that the visitor is Herbert. In fact, in the only instance in which the author refers to the knock, he says that it was "the thing" that wanted to come in. Therefore, this is not one way in which the author builds suspense.

The correct answer is A.

The author does not allude the visitor as being Herbert. He merely call it "the thing outside". Therefore, this is not a way the author creates suspense in the story.

The rest of the options: the description of the scraping, the echoes of the knocks, and the difficulty to find the object that was needed, are all elements that help build up suspense in this passage.

Find three points of "Little Boy Crying" poem and explain these three points briefly. You should tell me what the poem is about.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The poem is about a boy by the name of Steven who became agitated and eventually cried from losing a match in Fortnite. First, he threw his controller at his parent's flat screen TV, obliterating it with full force. Then he screamed erratically at his parents for hindering his concentration when they had not done so. A demon began spawning out of Steven as his screaming elevated to a banshee level and his face reddened. In the midst of rage, he picked up his cat and slammed it on the floor, breaking its neck. He began crying and laughing simultaneously. The parents witnessed this and called the police on him. When they arrived, Steven was arrested without much interrogation. He was put in juvenile detention with multiple pending charges and while he was locked up, his parents decided to disown him. Steven no longer had a home. When he gained knowledge of this, his inner demon formed again and he attacked a guard recklessly. Had the other guards not come in time, he would have been dead. Steven was transferred to a state prison with felony charges and is currently serving 50 years with no bail.

Explanation:

I read the poem.
