Which textual evidence from the text best supports your answer? i paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men, but the noise steadily increased. i swung the chair upon which i had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. it grew louder—louder—louder! and still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. i felt that i must scream or die! —and now—again—hark! louder! louder! louder! louder! —

It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled.

Correct. If the police officers could hear the sound, they likely would not be chatting pleasantly and smiling, which suggests that the narrator is hearing the wild beating of his own heart.

true

explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
