Ways to Build Suspense

Shimmering pavement, asphalt heat. Stopped talking in eastern Utah, after Shelby hit the roadkill and fritzed the air conditioning. Maybe a leg, a rib, of an armadillo in the mechanism. Western Utah, eastern Nevada, tongues gritty from tasting the air, sweat pooling in elbows, anywhere skin touched skin. Gwen falls asleep driving; car shudders over the rumble strip, waking both of them with shock, turning their blood to ice.

What techniques does the author use to build tension in this excerpt?

the answer is b

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

the correct answer is aesthetics.
