How does changing sentence structure from long to short and choppy help build suspense?

Changing the sentence from a very long sentence into a short and choppy helps the suspense by not giving the reader a lot of information and making them really think and wonder.
For example:
"The stranger watched, a look in his eyes and this feeling spread throughout my body." 

or

"There was a man watching, his blue eyes had this look in them that made me shiver with fear. His pale face held no emotion and made him seem as if he was just a corpse standing on his own."

The second one might sound better, yes, but the second one really makes you think and really builds the suspense.
"Who is this stranger? What does he look like? What feeling spread throughout their body?"

So instead of knowing a lot about this stranger, you know little to nothing and it really makes you want to know more, and definitely build the suspense.

Add apostrophes The data watchdogs clampdown on social media goes further and than MPs expected and is only part of a much bigge
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The data watchdogs clampdown on social media goes further than MPs expected and is only part of a much bigger counter-attack. It was anticipated that the draft guidelines from the Information Commissioner´s Office would deal with the gathering and management of children's data, and they would demand that companies collect the absolute minimum of information in line with teenagers´ welfare and security.

Explanation:

Apostrophes in English are most commonly used for contractions.

However, there´s also the possessive apostrophe which shows possession by adding 's to a noun (Commissioner´s Office).

If the noun in case ends in s, wether is singular or plural, the possession is shown by adding an apostrophe after the s (teenagers´ welfare).
