Excerpt from: the most dangerous game
richard connell
when the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, rainsford took up his flight again. it was flight now, a desperate, hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. the ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. he tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. with a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. he knew where he was now. death swamp and its quicksand.
suspense is created in the passage partly due to it being written in which point of view?
a) first person point of view
b) second person point of view
c) third person limited point of view
d) third person omniscient point of view

The answer to your question would be that suspense is created in the passage partly due to it being written in the third person limited point of view. That is, your answer would be C.

In the third person limited point of view, the narrator follows the thoughts and feelings of only one character. One character is closely followed throughout the story, and it is typically the main character. In this case, the narrator only follows Rainsford, someone else is seeing and narrating how he feels and that is what builds up the suspense.

 C)third person limited point of view

Explanation: Suspense is created partly because this passage is written in third person limited point of view. This allows the reader to observe what is happening to Rainsford, the main character in the excerpt.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
