The right answer is:
The aspect of this passage which most creates suspense in the reader?
A. The use of figurative language
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>In order for suspense to work in The Tell-Tale Heart by Allan Poe, this story needs figurative language. The vulture eye which terrifies and haunts the narrator builds suspense until it comes to a conclusion. </em>
<em>“It was open --wide, wide open --and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness, all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones...</em>
<em>but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: for I had directed the ray as if by instinct, precisely upon the spot.” </em>
<em>This language is giving little away to tease the reader. Edgar Allan Poe uses figurative language to develop an inventive story that averts a certain outcome with lots of suspense.</em>
