Answer:

A -  the use of several short phrases connected by commas.

Explanation:

Reading those short phrases connected by commas give the excerpt a rhytm, a speed, and keeps up a pace.

" I was paralyzed with terror, cold with fright, ready to shout out, ready to die."

Option B: there isn't very detailed or descriptive imagery.

Answer:

A. use of several short phrases connected by commas

Explanation:

Because in this excerpt, "I looked all around me, but I cannot say how long I remained there;<u><em> I was paralyzed with terror</em></u><u><em>,</em></u><u><em> cold with fright</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to shout out</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to die</em></u>." First the author describes what happens which could be a full sentence on its own, but the author decided to conjoin the two sentences with a semicolon and teh second sentences lists three or more concepts (which is one of the 5 rules of ocmmas) and lists what he is ready for.
