In “The Beginnings of the Maasai,” the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai. She explains how a volcanic eruption sent Enkai and the cattle into the sky. In order to save the cattle, Enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth. Then, Enkai entrusted Neiterkob, the narrator’s father, and his tribe to care for the cattle. As a result, the cattle are sacred to the Maasai, and the Maasai maintain a close connection with Enkai.

Which two parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" develop a suspenseful mood? "Likely," said Herbert, with

Rashid [163]

The parts of the except that develop a suspenseful mood are, first:

He darted around the table, pursued by the maligned Mrs. White armed with an antimacassar. Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly.

In this lines, the author is explaining the anxiety the character was feeling, moving around the table, having doubts about what to do, staring at the paw questioning if it was a good idea or what would the best possible wish to make. The whole description makes the reader feel the doubt and the fear of not making the right decision.

The second part that involves suspense is:

His father, smiling shamefacedly at his own credulity, held up the talisman, as his son, with a solemn face, somewhat marred by a wink at his mother, sat down and struck a few impressive chords.

In this sentence, the author is describing the way the father and his son were expecting something incredible, decided to make the wish and not knowing what would happen next. The father seems quite afraid and nervous and the son, a little bit more relaxed but as expectant as their parents is waiting in silence the next move. The reader cannot stop asking ‘what will happen next? Is it really going to work?’ The suspense is evident and everyone wants to know how the paw with ‘help’ the family and grant the wish. Therefore, I believe this two parts are the ones that best develop an atmosphere of suspense and fear at the same time.

So.5+6,4+7,3+8,2+9

So, password must consist of 2 to 9 numbers to make a pair 11.

No 0 or 1.

2.Also it has only 5 digit. So any two number must be same.

3. as per other condition.. 1st and last digit can't be same and also 3 middle digits can't have 2 same number.

4. Last and first digit can be

6___2

9___3

No other options suit for three times the last digit.

5. For middle numbers..

_529_ is the only option and 2 is a repeator that can make third pair as sum of 11.

_63(11)_ error and also 6 is a repeator but it can't make sum as 11.. Anyway error case.

_74(12)_error also no repeators

So.. Now from step 4 and 5..

65292 is the password.
