The technique that the author Irving incorporates in this story is that of

  • Quickening the pace.

Quickening the pace is a technique that authors use to build suspense in a text.

In this technique, events take place in a very hasty manner that makes the reader wonder what next will happen, or what will be the final outcome.

We see this applied at the outset of this story, the fast manner in which the character wore his clothes, moved down the stairs, and tumbled over some pieces of furniture.

All of these actions infuse suspense in the reader who wonders what will happen next.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Her team should use a persuasive script. (B)

Explaination:

ANSWER B) A persuasive script presents an opinion or statement (in this case, Samantha's health drinks) and argues why you should adopt it or purchase it. It is more likely to highlight the pros of the item and strat away from mentioning any negative points. It's makes for a perfect commercial!

C) A Instructional script is more of a user manual than anything. It's similar to an informational script, except that its main focua is<em> </em><em>how</em><em>.</em><em> </em>How to use a mobile device for an example. This type of script is more likely to be used in cooking programmes.

D) An entertainment script's main target is to amuse and delight audience. This type of script is more likely to be used in a series or a movie.
