Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative.
rusak2 [61]

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".
