This is what I wrote:

    The author of “A Relay Race to Remember” uses foreshadowing to create tension in the story. The author describes how the pain in Malik’s ankle is getting worse and worse. The author reveals Malik’s thoughts. The reader can see that Malik is not so confident that he can win because of his ankle, and this makes the reader nervous for Malik. The author describes the pain very specifically and uses a simile to show how much Malik’s ankle hurt. This gives the reader a better understanding of Malik and makes readers think and debate whether or not Malik is going to win or not. Then the author unexpectedly turns the course of events and Malik doesn’t swim at all. Now the readers start to worry about Sean and if he will win or not. The end releases the tension and the readers are relieved that everything turned out so well.

Hope this helps!

Ablation.

Explanation:

'Ablation' in general is demonstrated as the process of taking away or removal of a specific material out of an object through varied kinds of erosive processes like chipping or vaporization.

As per the given description, the research done by the visitor would be most closely associated to '<u>ablation</u>' methodology as he attempts to destruct/remove the battery(endothermic material) from the car(object) that leads to him finding out that 'car won't start anymore along with dysfunctioning of lights as well as stereo' as the 'energy of the car in the form of battery has been absorbed'.
