What are the words that create suspense in
this passage?
It was General Zaroff. He made his way a
long with his eyes fixed in
utmost concentration on the ground befor
e him. He paused, almost beneath
the tree, dropped to his knees and studi
ed the ground. Rainsford's
impulse was to hurt himself down like a
panther, but he saw that the
general's right hand held something meta
llic--a small automatic pistol.
The hunter shook his head several times,
as if he were puzzled. Then he
straightened up and took from his case o
ne of his black cigarettes; its
pungent incenselike smoke floated up to
Rainsford's nostrils.
Rainsford held his breath. The general's
eyes had left the ground and
were traveling inch by inch up the tree.
O hurl himself down like a panther
O incenselike smoke floated up
O traveling inch by inch

Answer:

Traveling inch by inch

Explanation:

The words that create suspense in the given passage are traveling inch by inch. Rainsford is watching General Zaroff from a tree and trying to remain discreet. He wants to attack, but doesn't, as he sees that Zaroff has a gun. At the end of the passage, Zaroff begins to look up the tree inch by inch. This creates suspense. It's an action that takes longer than it should (Zaroff could've looked at the tree quicker), which makes us nervous about what is going to happen next, about whether he is going to see Rainsford or not.

The rest of the options are just words that make it easier for us to imagine the scene more vividly.

The carousel has been around for a long time. Young noblemen used to participate in a game of ring-spearing. They would ride their horses at full speed and attempt to spear rings hanging from posts or branches. The carousel helped the young riders train for these competitions.

Excerpt from Searching for the Blue Poison Dart Frog
Kyle Ellington
The sweltering midafternoon sun beat down on us while we climbed through the lush, untamed vegetation of the forest. Our
guide masterfully chopped at the thickest undergrowth and foliage as we made our way further away from our encampment.
The air around was viscous and damp, and a cacophony of insect songs ringed in my ears. We were in the rainforests of South
America searching for the elusive Dendrobates azureus, which is better known as its common name, the Blue Poison Dart
Frog. Humans are interested in this creature-which is a vulnerable species and is scarce in the wild-because of its
magnificent coloring and its lethal poison
While they are gorgeous animals
, these frogs pack a perilous punch. The vivid blue coloring is a forewarning for predators to
stay away from the frogs. Because their skin is covered with glands that secrete small amounts of toxins, Blue Poison Dart
Frogs are capable of paralyzing or even killing their predators. These toxins are used to protect the frog, not to capture their
prey: Dendrobates azureus use their long, sticky tongues to retrieve their meals.
Which figurative language device does the author use at the beginning of the second paragraph?

Use the conversation to answer the question.

MOM: You need to start your homework as soon as you get home from school. You will be too tired to do it later.

ISAAC: I'm tired when I get home from school because I've been paying attention in class and surrounded by people all day. I also have to clean my room and take Boomer for a walk.

MOM: Your homework is more important than both of those things.

ISAAC: I agree with you. But by the time I get home from school, I've been doing schoolwork for eight hours straight. If I had a break from doing schoolwork to take care of the other things I need to do before starting homework, I think I would be more focused. Also, I always finish my homework. It's important to me that it get done, too.
