Answer:

This question refers to the work Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher.

Explanation:

This work generates a lot of suspense in the reader. We as readers want to predict what is going to happen, who will be the woman they want to kill, who are the men who are talking, etc.

There are many factors in the story that create suspense. Music and sounds are part of this. For example, when Mrs. Agnes is listening to the peak of the conversation, the call drops.

"GEORGE: Yes, a knife… it will be ok. The afterwards, I'll

remove the rings and the bracelets and the jewelry in the bureau

drawer because our client wishes it to look like a simple

robbery. Don’t worry, everything’s ok, I know…

SFX: BUZZING SOUND AS PHONE DISCONNECTS. " 

Another thing that generates great despair in us readers is the reaction of the police, or rather the non-reaction:

As Agnes recounted the horrible conversation she had just overheard, the operator only replied: "What number are you dialing?" , "What number did you call?"

The suspense builds as Agnes can't get anyone to listen to her pleas to save a poor woman who is going to be murdered.

Then she begins to receive constant calls in which no one responds and begins to lose her mind and get really very nervous, which also makes us readers nervous.

Finally, and after all her pleas to save that woman, Mrs. Stevenson was the woman they were going to kill, and George finally does.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

It was a rainy day but, Joan and I had planned a trip. Joan wanted to go to the beach for a swim. I wasn't sure if we should go.

"I think we should wait a little longer, at least until the rain shows some signs of slowing down," I suggested.

"We can't swim without getting wet anyway," replied Joan, questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought at a secondhand store.

Explanation:

The best option to complete the parts where punctuation is missing is a comma.

1. It was a rainy day, but Joan and I had... --> commas are placed before the conjunction joining two independent clauses, as is the case here.

2. "I think we should wait a little longer, at least until... --> this type of usage is commonly justified as avoiding confusion. The way we read the sentence without the comma changes, and can cause confusion.

3. questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought... --> commas are used before phrases or clauses that somehow offer an explanation or further information about something previously mentioned. In this case, the speaker is offering further information about the swimsuit.

Note: For case 3, I believe a dash is also an option, since it can come before an explanation or further information as well. Still, a comma is usually preferred.
