Explanation:

Washington Irving effectively creates suspense through evoking emotional responses in "The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture". For example, when the narrator and his companions first see the mysterious picture in the dim - lit room, the description of their growing unease and fear as they try to make out the details of the picture heightens the suspense. The use of language to describe their quickening heartbeats and nervous glances builds an atmosphere of tension, drawing the reader into the story and making them eager to find out what the picture really is and what its significance is.

Answer:

Yes, Irving uses the method of evoking an emotional response to create suspense effectively. An example is the description of the characters' reactions upon first seeing the mysterious picture in the story "The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture".
