Read the beginning of Trevor’s narrative.Thinking back on that afternoon, I knew then that my best friend was keeping something from me. If I thought about it—I mean, really thought about it—there had been other signs. They may have been subtle, but they had been there, nonetheless.
Answer
A
to eliminate the need to include events that occurred before this statement
B
to clarify potential confusion for the reader by clearly stating the conflict
C
to capture the reader’s attention by creating suspense about his best friend
D
to explain why he no longer trusts the words and actions of his best friend
Explanation
Trevor hints that his best friend is hiding something, then adds that there were earlier signs. He does not reveal what the secret or signs are, which makes the reader curious about what happened. This creates suspense about his best friend, so the best choice is “to capture the reader’s attention by creating suspense about his best friend.”
