Answer:
you need to ask this again but with more detail
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:
Children torn away from the caring arms of their families; entire communities wiped from the face of the planet; villages and towns that have been centres of culture and trade for generations obliterated by our carelessness, our lack of respect, our failure to do our duty to other members of the human race, and the planet on which we all cling to those few things that matter to us.
Natural disasters are of course phenomenon’s that can often be attributed to the workings of our planet. But in this day and age they are becoming more and more frequent, and causing more and more catastrophes and chaos. We must face up to the truth: disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes are approximately 40 % more common in our time due to the actions of not just global corporations and national industries, but of the heartless, ignorant manner in which so many of us choose to live our lives today.
