Poetry is a form of literary art in which language is used beautiously to bring out an apparent meaning or thought. It has regularity of metre and a rhyme whereas a short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format.
The correct answer would be helping verbs. The helping verbs are combined with the main verbs to indicate time, possibility and other kinds of meaning. The helping verbs' function is to help extend the meaning of the main verbs by adding more detail on it. Helping verbs are very essential in the formation of different tenses of the verb.
I can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news.
I believe we have here an example of situational irony.
Irony is found in the contrast between expected outcomes and what actually happens. The narrator wanted to spend the time on the beach, not in the hotel room watching local TV. However, the reality was such that now the narrator "can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news".
That's why I think this particular sentence matches the style of the passage.
You have to ask him if he remembers you first
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
There is no question here. It is just a statement.
Furthermore, you did not specify if this statement belongs to a novel, a play, a movie, or what?
It is so difficult to help you without the question and the proper references.
However, trying to help you, we can infer that you are talking about the ghost in the play "Hamlet," written by English author William Shakespeare.
Being that the case, yes, the appearance of the ghost helps create an eerie mood and grabs the audience's attention. Shakespeare, being the expert writer he was, knew how to create suspense in the readers. As the ghost does not speak, this adds mystery and suspense to people's minds. The audience would probably want to know more about the ghost in the king's clothes and ist purpose to appear. Most people could think that the ghost is there because it has issues to resolve.
