The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of

blood added to its ghastliness. Yet it was not all these characteristics—it was some horror of the mind, some inscrutable antipathy awakened by this picture, which harrowed up my feelings.

What technique does Irving use to build suspense in the excerpt?

1The pace of the story quickens.

2The word choice darkens the tone.

3Odd characters are introduced.

4The setting details are intentionally omitted.

Answer:

2. The word choice darkens the tone.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt by Irving, he describes a horrific scene, where there is agony, extreme bodily pain, along with blood to make the scene more ghastly and he also talks about the most horrific thing being a "horror of the mind"

The technique that Irving uses to build suspense in the excerpt is his use of words that darken the tone as it never explains the cause of the pain but vividly describes it.

Question 7: Read the following paragraph. Identify any misplaced or dangling modifiers you see and rewrite each one of the sente
Blababa [14]

"Sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car". This is wrong. The correct version is: "The car's sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car".What has been bold typed stands for the subject of the  present participle, <em>sparkling</em>. This subject is realised by the genitive case and it is a different subject from the main sentence / clause. What sparks is the car not Marcus. " With a grin of appreciation, the car looked almost brand new." wrong. The correct version is: " Marcus , with a grin  of  appreciation on his face, noticed the car ; the car  looked almost brand new." The new version- elements in bold type - has turned into an idependent sentence / clause. Marcus is the one that wears a smile at noticing his brand new car. The semi colon stands for "since". "Grabbing the keys,  the car was ready for a road trip." This is wrong. The right version is  " Marcus' grabbing the keys ; the car was ready for a road trip". The subject of the present participle , <em>grabbing , </em>has to be provided since it is Marcus that grabs the key ,not the car. The semi-colon claims importance for it stands for <em>because.</em>
