Answer:
"A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game"
Explanation:
Something pall is something dark, gloomy, related to sadness and death. This shows conflict as the narrator is describing a match in which everything could be defined by the last inning. "we'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat". "clung to the hope...". That moment will be defined by the outcome of that last inning. That's why a "pall-like" silence fell upon the patrons of the game. Because everything will be defined after.
It would be D because there's alot of detail/description
<span>When constructing an argument, one thing
writers do is concede a point. This
technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the
argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided. Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding
the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.
However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up
with a rebuttal. In this particular
instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps
try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books,
which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information
on a tablet. </span>
