Which line from the poem builds suspense? "But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping," "Deep into that darkn

In A the author in only affirming a fact. In C he describes some remembrance and in D he is declaring something positive about his soul and overcoming hesitation. But in B he mentions <em>"darkness", "peering" "wondering</em>" and <em>"fearing"</em>, all leading to to anxiety and making the reader keep interest and antecipation for the outcome.
