B. When you read this, you immediately get an ominous feeling. Now, we can immediately eliminate a because it really has nothing to do with the emotions being displayed by the author. C can also be eliminated because nobody said anything about "a rich general". And D makes some sense, but it's just too general, like, "Oooo! So spooky! But why is it haunted?" The more ominous reason would be that it claimed many lives.
"Greedy Lips." Why would the author use the word "greedy" to explain being haunted. No, the author's talking greedy like greedy for lives. Lots of figurative language in there but ultimately B should be the correct answer!

Which sentences use description to develop the narrator's personality? Select three options. "I live on Greene Street," I answer
murzikaleks [220]

The three sentences that are used to develop the narrator’s personality are: "I remember that song, and it always makes me feel a little sad to hear it," I admitted to Rosie. I knelt down next to the woman's dog and said, "He's a beautiful dog. What's his name?" "You just say that because you're jealous," I said to Marty as I put my license back in my wallet.

What these three statements have in common is the use of adjectives and verbs to describe the mood or the feelings of the narrator. Examples of emotions can be found in the tree statements, such as “makes me feel a little sad” “beautiful dog”, “you’re jealous”. The other two statements are informative.
