Question

which detail from the passage creates the most suspense for the reader? “Minos, king of Crete, had made war upon Athens.” “He had laid waste the fields and gardens round about Athens.” “Then Aegeus, the king of Athens . . . went out to see King Minos and to treat with him.”

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

This sentence is the one that creates the most suspense because King Minos had made war upon King Aegeus and Athens.

Due to their feud and hostility, the reader does not know what will happen in the meeting of the two kings and will be eager to find out.
