The correct answer is C. She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

Explanation:

In literature, the suspense is a common device used by the author to engage the audience in the story and increase the interest of it. Suspense mainly occurs when the audience or reader wonder about the outcome of events, the following event or the wait events are connected and wait anxiously to know it, because of this, the author of a text can create suspense by using a slow pace in the text, provide only limited information, present the outcome first without the background or use dilemmas.

Considering this, in the case presented the author can create suspense if she starts with the last sentence, because this would make the audience wonder about why the narrator is helping Grandma June and why this seems quite important for the narrator, which means the author could build suspense by presenting the outcome and not providing the background information. Thus, if Lucy wants to create more suspense "She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help".

Answer:

Comma Splice

Explanation:

Comma splice can also be known as comma fault.

COMMAN SPLICE can be defined as the use of a comma to join two clauses that are independent which is why comma splice is a common grammatical error in English because two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma in order to make one sentence which is why to avoid comma splices, we need to be able to identify an independent clause.

Therefore comma splice is sometimes used in literary writing in order to help convey a particular mood of informality.

In order word COMMAN SPLICE can be seen as the way in which comma is use to join two complete sentences without placing an appropriate joining word between them.
