Answer:
The correct answer is B) Rising Action.
Explanation:
Rising Action refers to the simultaneous incidents in a plot that work together to create suspense, arouse tension and curiosity.
In the book "The Runner's Literary Companion: Great Stories and Poems About Running" the narrator creates imagery that connotes that something is about to happen. A race is about to begin, and from that sentence above, we don't know how it will end. Of course, we want to. And that's suspense, the effect of Rising Action.
Cheers!
