Question 12 • AZ-English Language Arts 9 B

Which event in Amaterasu does the author include to create suspense?

Answer
A
As a storm god, Susanowo rules the sea.
B
Amaterasu takes the sun and hides in a cave.
C
The other gods remain cautious as they watch.
D
Amaterasu and peace return to the lands.

Explanation

Amaterasu hiding in a cave creates suspense because her disappearance takes the sun away, leaving the world in darkness and making readers wonder how she will be brought back. The choice “Amaterasu takes the sun and hides in a cave” describes this tense turning point. The return of peace in D resolves the conflict rather than creating suspense.
