Question 9 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR
The paragraph says that the “basic narrative fuel” is the slow unveiling of the final answer. This means suspense comes from revealing information gradually, keeping readers curious about what will happen. The paragraph describes appealing characters, complicated entanglements, and dangerous situations as luxuries, not requirements, so choices B, C, and D are not the main point.
