the correct ANSWER is C
Explanation:
just read it and you will know the answer
Answer:
1) Rainsford moves in a path intended to confuse Zaroff. He winds around and doubles back, walking (running) in loops. This attempt to lose Zaroff is unsuccessful.
2) Rainsford's first true trap is what was called a Malay mancatcher. He made the trap by balancing a dead tree upon a cut living tree. One of the boughs is then set as a trigger for the trap, which when set off would cause the dead tree to fall.
3) There was also the Burmese tiger pit. This trap was created by digging a hole in the Death Swamp and filling it with stakes, which were then hidden by woven grass. One of Zaroff's dogs is killed in this trap.
4) Rainsford's final trap was a trick he'd been taught in Uganda. He fastened a knife to the end of a young tree (the youth of the tree would have made it pliable).
Answer:
Part A: c). Pacing
Part B: d). To build tension
Explanation:
Part A
Pacing is characterized as the literary device in which the author opts for a certain pace/speed to unfold the story in order to prevent the readers from being bored due to the length of the story. In the given excerpt, the author <u>employs 'pacing' as he begins with a brief informative sentence '...then I heard' and this action is immediately stopped and the pace of the story is slowed down using a lengthy 'complex-compound' sentence</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
Part B
The key purpose for which the author employs 'pacing' is 'to build tension.' The excerpt <u>begins with a strange detail regarding the 'vibrations of the chain.' This action is immediately frozen in order to get involved in his own psychological problems('hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labors and sat down upon the bones')</u>. This develops tension in the readers' minds <u>by leaving them uncertain about what would happen next</u>. Thus, <u>option d</u> is the correct answer.
