This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under construction and he’d be leading them to the first exhibit. His fingers leapt to his name tag as he nervously introduced himself as "Liam, a student of the arts." Then he bade the group follow him. They traversed a vaulted hall lined with hulking objects, each one obscured by a faded tarpaulin. Some of the items stretched across the floor, others cast long shadows on the museum walls. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>C. intentionally omitting setting details
.</u>

Explanation:
The author of this passage only gives us enough information to know where the characters are, and that the place is a bit scary. We know it's a museum, but we don't know what it looks like. There are items, "hulking objects", but the author does not offer any details. We don't know what these objects are; all we know is that they stretch across the floor or cast long shadows. The same goes for the museum. The lack of details prevents readers from visualizing it clearly. We know the man and the class are at a vaulted hall. The color of the walls, the lighting, the atmosphere, all of it is omitted. That technique helps create suspense, since, without much information, we do not know what to expect.
Answer:
in the script of a play that tell actors how to enter, where to stand, when to move, and they can also include instructions about lighting, scenery, and sound effects, but their main purpose is to guide actors through their movements onstage. <em><u>I THINK THE AWNSER IS A</u></em>
What sets apart the short film from the story is the director's choice of details. The setting seemed to be made as normal as possible, a simple small town in America. He added foreshadowing by doing a close up of Tess Hutchinson's nervous, smiling face and the closeup of rocks in the boy's pocket. He had the benefit of using pauses to increase suspense, and the actress was free to express Tess's outrage at the lottery. The overall visual of the movie is more detailed because we see the expressions of seriousness and unease in each face.
There are plenty of similarities between the story and video as well. They are both heavily suspenseful, the atmosphere appears to be dark, like something doesn't feel right. The moment were the boys are gathering rocks, in both works it was a sign they were up to no good, but the audience was not aware why until the story progressed. Both were true to the simplistic lifestyle of the townspeople, and how casually they carried out this morbid tradition for agricultural purposes.
In conclusion, they both successful covered the themes of the story regarding mob psychology, following traditions blindly, scapegoating, and the reliance chance-based games.
The answer is C: Moving through the darkness.
The fact the question is asking about the adventures of a guide dog or the blind entails that it probably is a form of narrative, fiction or otherwise, which means it must be written to appeal to a reader´s fancy. So the title you should be looking for in the answer is one that is enticing or captivating at first glance, in a narrative sense. Also, semantically, and considering the reason stated previously, answer C is the only one that is interpretatively connected to a guide dog or the blind narratively.
