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:

  • "revealing character traits and thoughts through dialogue": The excerpt doesn’t have dialogue showing this tension.
  • "providing detailed descriptions of the setting and characters": The focus is on Jack’s internal state and events, not just setting/character descriptions.
  • "using imagery and figurative language to convey complex ideas": The excerpt’s tension isn’t built through imagery/figurative language for this specific belief.
  • "relating a series of events over the course of several paragraphs": The excerpt describes events (hearing a voice, thoughts about solemnism, eye arrest, mind recalling past) that build tension around his ghost - related belief by unfolding a sequence of occurrences that heighten the sense of unease and his preoccupation with the ghostly visit.

Answer:

relating a series of events over the course of several paragraphs
