Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2." "I see we'll have to do it the hard way," Ellery said. "Sorry I can't produce the

thief with a flick of my wrist, the way it's done in books, but in real life, detection — like crime — is pretty unexciting stuff. We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Raise your hand." Not a muscle moved. Which sentence from the excerpt adds the most suspense?( A)We'll begin with a body search.

Answer:

C) Anybody rather not chance a search?

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the sentence that adds the most suspense was "Anybody rather not chance a search?".

It's clear that from the excerpt, Ellery is a law enforcement officer or someone that is keen to catch a thief or make a discovery of sorts so the following monologue takes place, "Sorry I can't produce the thief with a flick of my wrist, the way it's done in books, but in real life, detection — like crime — is pretty unexciting stuff. We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Raise your hand".

From the monologue above, Ellery is trying to solve a crime and he decided to do a body search of the most immediate suspects and the sentence that adds the most suspense was asking if anyone would object to a search. At this point, it is clear that anyone that objects to a search is the prime suspect because you won't object to a search if you don't have something to hide. It is also worthy of note that after asking if anybody objected to a body search, nobody responded.

This can be inferred to mean that everyone was scared not to be the first to object to a body search so as not to be seen as the prime suspect.

Schach [20]
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name<span> was No Man, or </span>Nobody<span>, to trick the cyclops.

I'd say he did that so the cyclops will not be able to get help from his friends.

Anestetic [448]
Here’s some info for your topic!

Researchers found that fruits and vegetables labeled organic were not more nutritious, on average, than conventional produce, and didn't have higher levels of vitamins. There were also no health benefits to organic meats. We say: Go conventional. Organic junk food is still junk food.
