Answer

Brief Explanations:

Suspense is created by uncertainty and a hint of something unexpected or concerning. Option A leaves the reader wondering why Russ would need a lawyer, creating curiosity and tension. Option B is more of a statement without much mystery. Option C resolves the situation too quickly. Option D is too out - of - the - ordinary in a non - suspenseful (more fantastical) way.

Answer:

A. "Marjorie," Russ said. "You wouldn't happen to know any lawyers, would you?"
