English

Answer:

The author creates suspense by providing possible scenarios of what may happen. The narrator examines the room in great detail, and the reader gets a sense that something can happen at any moment. The room becomes quiet and dark and, even as he goes to sleep, the narrator is convinced something will happen. Instead of immediately telling readers what happens when the narrator wakes up, the author provides ambiguous details. “I stretched out my hand to find out what was the nature of this object. I felt a face, a nose, and whiskers which made me jump straight out of the soaked sheets, and rush in my nightshirt into the corridor, the door of which I found open.” Finally, the narrator shares that he actually caused the whole incident to happen.

One evening, me and my friend Jack were playing outside. We decided a friendly game of football would be fun. We were just tossing and throwing the ball to each other, like normal boys would do. 

All of a sudden, Jack started crying. I went up to him in desperation, as I noticed that he had broken his arm! He ran into the neighbor's car, and he hit his arm so hard on the side mirror, that it broke! We had to admit him into the hospital!

After a long time in the emergency room, Jack was free to go to his house. This had to be the scariest moment for me. I'm going to be taking a little break from football. I hope this never happens again...

What causes Daisy to become frightened, withdraw from the encounter, and lose any
lukranit [14]

Answer:

What prompted this reaction in Daisy was that she realized Tom's words, and that she could never leave her husband for Gatsby.

Explanation:

Daisy had a great love for Gatsby but the fact that Tom had singled him out as a common bootlegger made her realize the consequences this would bring.

She was actually scared by those words which caused her to stay with Tom even though she didn't love him.

All this happens in the discussion that Tom and Gatsby have where they fight for the love of Daisy, and that's where Tom reveals about the investigation he made about Gatsby and his drugstores, which leaves Daisy terrified, and realizes that Gatbsy couldn't win the confrontation.
