Explanation:

For the first question (about Roald Dahl's Lamb to the Slaughter), building suspense early relies on setting tension. Emphasizing silence creates an uneasy, anticipatory mood. The other options are incorrect: dialogue revealing future events does not occur early; cozy domesticity and cooking routine establish setup but not suspense directly.
