Explanation:

Great Expectations is structured to build tension gradually: starting with Pip's early life (The Trial), his introduction to wealth (The Expectation), the unraveling of his fortune's source (The Progress), and the climax of consequences (The Labyrinth). This linear, escalating narrative sequence reveals key details and conflicts step-by-step, drawing readers deeper into uncertainty about Pip's fate and the story's outcomes, which heightens suspense over time.

Answer:

D. Sequencing the events this way increases the level of suspense.
