Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger." It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to the

se doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance. If he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel that could be procured, which immediately sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt. The author’s purpose in this passage most likely is to build suspense. explain the moral. introduce the main conflict. reveal a character’s thoughts.

<u>Build suspense</u>
