Why should we care? What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on earth disa

ppear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. It is fashionable in some quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bugs and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the Pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it.

Read the passage.
kolezko [41]

The correct answer is A.

In this passage, the author creates suspense by describing a mysterious physical situation that could be a deadly trap. He is close to the edge of a large pit, so close that much of his head is hanging off the side. Poe creates suspense by the fact that the narrator close to the edge of a very deep pit.

Unpleasant details add to the sensory impact of the excerpt, but not its suspense. Furthermore, the narrator is confused in this excerpt, but not really fearful. He doesn't know enough about his current sitatuation to be afraid. Finally, the narrator becomes very quickly aware of the danger he's in -- he quickly realizes most of his head is hanging off the edge of the pit, a great danger indeed.

Therefore, Poe creates suspense by describing a mysterious physical situation that could be a deadly trap for the narrator.
