Camille is taking notes on "A Simple Way to Create Suspense." Like the old cartoon of the big fish eating a smaller fish eating

a very small fish, you’ll find out the big answer after a string of smaller drip-drip-drip answers. The big answer is parceled out slowly and parsimoniously. I remember doing that in "Killing Floor,” my first novel featuring Jack Reacher, a drifter and ex-military policeman. Something weird is happening in a small Georgia town. O.K., great, but what? Well, it seems to be something to do with money. Fine, but what exactly? Well, it seems to be about getting hold of perfect blank paper for counterfeiting purposes. Wonderful, but where the heck are they getting it? Which will be most helpful as Camille re-reads her notes to find the central idea of this paragraph? Lee Child = author Jack Reacher ;Fish, drips = answers; Big answer should come slowly; Blank paper to print mone

Answer: Big answer should come slowly.

The main idea of the passage is that, when writing a story and trying to create suspense, the "big answer" should come slowly. Option A is not particularly useful as the information can probably be obtained by just looking at the title of the text. Option B will not very clear helpful if Camille forgets the purpose of this metaphor. Finally, option D is relevant for the actual <em>Jack Reacher</em> novel, but not for the text on how to write suspense.

Whose trial testimony seems likely to result in a further investigation of someone other than Martha Carrier? Explain.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The testimony of Martha's neighbor, Benjamin Abbot, proved the investigation of Martha's husband and children.

Explanation:

Martha Carrier was the first woman accused of witchcraft in Salem. El countered the accusations, called her accusers crazy, maintained her position on her innocence and despite being arrested, refused to admit that she was a witch. After being accused by the Salem teenagers, other people testified against Martha, including her neighbor, Benjamin Abbot, who claimed to have been seriously ill after arguing with Martha.

Abbot's testimony created a distrust towards people living with Martha and triggered an investigation for signs of witchcraft in her children and her husband.
