Review the paragraph from the article "a simple way to create suspense." readers are human, and humans seem programmed to wait for answers to questions they witness being asked. i learned that fact in my first job. i worked in television production from 1977 until 1995, and the business changed radically during that time, mainly because of one particular invention. it was something that almost no one had in 1980, and that almost everyone had in 1990, and it changed the game forever. we had to cope with it. we had to invent a solution to the serious problem it posed. in this paragraph, the author uses an analogy. anecdote. example. elective.

The answer is: anecdote.

An anecdote is a short humorous or interesting story about a real story or person. In the excerpt from "A Simple Way to Create Suspense," the narrator describes an engaging account from his first job, which was in the television industry.

In this paragraph the author uses an anecdote. An anecdote needs to be a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person. In this excerpt the anecdote is used to illustrate the main aidea.

An example is a way of adding detail to make a paragraph better and stronger. It is not an analogy because by definition an analogy is a comparison. Metaphors and similes are types of analogy.

It is not elective because it is not optional therefore it could not be removed.

nervous or scared i would say

hope this ! (if thats not it give me the answer choices)

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
