Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine how the author builds tension around Jack’s belief of being visited by Mrs. Wessington’s ghost, we analyze the options. The correct approach is "relating a series of events over the course of several paragraphs" because the excerpt unfolds Jack's experiences (like hearing a voice, his thoughts, and the progression of events) across multiple paragraphs to create suspense about the ghostly encounter. Other options: "providing detailed descriptions..." focuses more on setting/characters, "using imagery..." is about language, and "revealing character traits..." is about dialogue - none match the tension from event progression.
# Answer:
relating a series of events over the course of several paragraphs
