Explanation:

To determine which quotations create suspense, we analyze each option:

• Option D: "…they are very properly punished for it; …" hints at a consequence, building curiosity about what "it" is and the punishment.
• Option E: "…they will eat our children." introduces a threatening and unexpected event, creating tension and suspense about the threat to children.

Options A, B, and C provide background or character descriptions rather than creating suspense.

Answer:

D. "…they are very properly punished for it; …"
E. "…they will eat our children."
