Answer:

The physical appearance of the landlady impacts the story in the way that no one can imagine her as a killer because her physical appearance is nice in some way.

Explanation:

The short story of the landlady written by Roald Dahl, is a story about a young man called Billy. He travelled from London to Bath and there he meet a middle aged woman. Then, he starts talking to the landlady.

The author describes the landlady as an old woman with a warming smile. She also has blue eyes:

<em> "She was about forty-five or fifty years old, and the moment she saw him she gave him a warm welcoming smile."</em>

<em>"She had a round pink face and very gentle blue eyes."</em>

<em>“She seemed terribly nice. She looked exactly like the mother of one's best school-friend welcoming her into the house to stay for the Christmas holidays”</em>

<em>"He noticed that she had small, white, quickly moving hands and red finger-nail."</em>

The physical appearance of the landlady impacts the story in the way that no one can imagine her as a killer because her physical appearance is nice in some way.

How does changing sentence structure from long to short and choppy help build suspense
ycow [4]
Well, if you think about it, if your sentences are super short, you get right to the point and we don't know any of the important details. 
Example: The dog died. (short and choppy)
Verses: The suffering K-9 limped along the alley, energy slowly dripping away. He walked in the rain, not noticing the puddles he was trodding through. At length, he reached his almost flooded dog house, where he laid down. His he fell asleep never to wake again, finally at peace.
Make sense? Hope this helped! Sorry for the depressing example ;)

You recently went on a school trip with your class.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Dear sang-jun,

Last week, my classmates and I went on a school trip to the national museum. We went there to study historic artifacts and gather information about them for our class project. The museum was large. We came across many interesting historic and cultural objects. Like turbans, swords, and some other objects like crowns of former rulers. I enjoyed seeing so many amazing things. As you know, Maldives is famous for many amazing things, like our culture, traditional food, and dress, folk stories, etc. And the best part was that we got to see the great artworks about our tradition. At the end of the lesson, the teacher asked us questions to understand what we learned. We took notes, shared our ideas, and did a pop quiz. We also did great jobs in our projects. They were very informative.
