The apartment house had a communal attic rarely visited by its tenants. The labeled boxes and cast-off furniture offered little

intrigue, so few explored its depths. Then one rainy afternoon, I ventured there seeking solitude. Roaming beyond the beams of the lone ceiling bulb, I spied only cobwebs until I rounded the corner of a hulking armoire. Beyond this antique was unrelenting shadow, but I willed myself to advance. Then a grim bellow of thunder resounded, sending me to the floor. Prostrate on the splintered beams, my hands felt a shaft of cold steel and I could but imagine the evil article I’d encountered.What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

Let's examine the options.

<u>a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other</u>

This is the indirect sense we get from the passage, based on the way the Greeks express disdain toward the Cyclops for not meeting each other. The Greeks say the "Cyclopes have...no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways" after calling them "giants, louts, without a law to bless them" and saying they live in ignorance.

<u>b) the Greeks shun meetings and consultation</u>

From the way the passage condemns the Cyclops for having "no muster and no meeting, no consultation...", we can tell the Greeks shun <em>not</em> having meetings and consultation. This option is wrong.

<u>c) the Greeks, unlike Cyclops, live alone in caves</u>

Based on the text - "Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,...each one dwells in his own mountain cave" - Cyclops, not Greeks, are the ones living in caves. This option is wrong.

<u>d) the Cyclops have taught the Greeks the value of society</u>

We get the sense the Cyclops themselves don't know the value of society - in fact, they shut the world out ("each one dwells in his own mountain cave"). They are called ignorant louts "indifferent to what others do". This option is wrong.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other
