This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The technique the author uses to build suspense is:
C. intentionally omitting setting details
Explanation:
The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.
<u>However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.</u>

Answer:
1.This moment is important because it's almost like Gatsby had a certain interest in Nick. He was the only one who got an actual invitation to the partyso it definitely makes it seem like Gatsby knows who Nick is without ever meeting him before. A lot of people don’t even know who Gatsby is, they simply just go for the party and being able to say they went to a Gatsby party. Some were introduced but even then they still just kept going on with the party so maybe it could just be because Nick is his neighbor but there still seems to be something more to this situation.
The sentence here contains a participle that is correctly punctuated. We have the phrase hiding in the brush which is our participle, and it clearly defines what the leopard was doing. Its is properly punctuated as the comma was necessary before the words, the leopard or else it would become improperly punctuated.
