Answer:

The four types of comma interrupters are parenthetical expressions, direct address, appositive, and two or more adjectives preceding a noun.

Explanation:

Comma interrupters are used to show emphasis or emotion in the middle of a thought.

Without the use of commas, the flow of reading can be annoying.

Its four types are:

Parenthetical expressions: They are words added to a sentence, which do not change their meaning. This information can be added or removed without changing the meaning of a sentence.
Direct adress: It is set by a comma, or a pair of commas. It is a construction in which who writes gives a direct message to an individual or a group.

Appositive: It is also known as noun phrase, and provides information that further identifies or defines a noun.
Two or more adjectives preceding a noun: A comma must not be placed between an adjective and the noun that follows immediately. Its correct use is to separate two or more adjectives that are found before a noun.

Answer:

This question refers to the work Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher.

Explanation:

This work generates a lot of suspense in the reader. We as readers want to predict what is going to happen, who will be the woman they want to kill, who are the men who are talking, etc.

There are many factors in the story that create suspense. Music and sounds are part of this. For example, when Mrs. Agnes is listening to the peak of the conversation, the call drops.

"GEORGE: Yes, a knife… it will be ok. The afterwards, I'll

remove the rings and the bracelets and the jewelry in the bureau

drawer because our client wishes it to look like a simple

robbery. Don’t worry, everything’s ok, I know…

SFX: BUZZING SOUND AS PHONE DISCONNECTS. " 

Another thing that generates great despair in us readers is the reaction of the police, or rather the non-reaction:

As Agnes recounted the horrible conversation she had just overheard, the operator only replied: "What number are you dialing?" , "What number did you call?"

The suspense builds as Agnes can't get anyone to listen to her pleas to save a poor woman who is going to be murdered.

Then she begins to receive constant calls in which no one responds and begins to lose her mind and get really very nervous, which also makes us readers nervous.

Finally, and after all her pleas to save that woman, Mrs. Stevenson was the woman they were going to kill, and George finally does.

How does a story’s time period provide the reader with a reference point? Your answer should be 2 to 3 sentences.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The story's time period provides the reader with a reference point, for if someone reads a book about the early eighteen hundreds, they can assume that slavery has not yet been abolished and that people are outwardly racist. This helps provide a reference point, as if you didn't know the time period, you would be confused as why these events were happening.
