Answer:
I want to say that the answer is, A. By detailing the development of the conflict between the characters.
A. Interrogative, question mark. "Have you ever been to North Carolina?" is a question, hence the question mark. If one is being interrogated, he or she is being questioned.
The answer is personification
Why?:
Personification- when a thing or an animal acts like humans
In this case landscape "listens", they don' t listen and then Shadows "holds" their breath, Shadows can't HOLD THEIR BREATH!!
I hope this helps!
For the 3rd one it would be D. You see the evidence when it says “to avoid having students gather in groups”
