Respuesta :

Lessing creates tension and suspense by using a sort of ticking clock in the climax of this story. Jerry knows that he counted to one hundred and sixty while the older boys swam through the tunnel, so he knows that he has to be able to hold his breath for the same amount of time in order to accomplish the same feat.

Answer:

Ellery keeps looking back at the clock as it gets closer to the end of the class period. He and Miss Carpenter are worried. This shows both pacing and suspense because the action happens quickly and the reader does not know when the crime will be solved.

Explanation:

I just did the assignment on Edge2020.

Hope this helped! :)
