Read the excerpt from a short story. The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under
Fittoniya [83]

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>

Please help Read the passage.
DiKsa [7]

Because pathos is an appeal to emotion, we know that the second and third responses are not appropriate because of the phrases, “to create outrage” and “to create anger,” respectively.  Because ethos is an appeal to ethics by manner of a speaker/writer’s authority, we know the fourth response is not proper because of the phrase, “to reinforce his authority.”  Thus, because logos appeals to logic and Sir Patrick Henry describes the logical outcome after a series of actions, it can be deduced that the first response is correct:  “He lists the actions taken by America to ensure peace, to establish the reasons why war is inevitable.”
