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.

just olya [345]

The correct options are "determining the central idea of the text"; "looking for facts and examples"; "considering all the evidence" and " finding repeated words and phrases".

In the process of citing supporting details it is necessary to have the central idea of the text in mind so as to make sure the quotations are connected to the text. Since the purpose of citing is to support ideas, you need to find examples and specific facts, and to evaluate their appropiatness and connection to the text. Some repetition within the text is necessary as well because it helps you establish the connection between the citation and the text, so as to help the reader follow the text easily
