Will give brainliest! read the passage. the storm i was home alone one night while an apocalyptic storm raged outside, rain beating incessantly on the roof, wind causing the branches of the ancient oak tree to scratch against my window like deathly fingers. suddenly, the lights went out. i scrambled to find a flashlight, only to discover that it would not turn on. shaking it wildly, i soon realized that the batteries were dead. my pulse had just returned to normal when i heard pounding on the door. as i tiptoed to look out the window, i caught a glimpse of my stricken expression in the hall mirror and valiantly tried to swallow my terror. there, standing on the front porch, was my older brother, drenched from head to toe and glowering at me through his dripping hair. question: why doesn’t the reader know it is the narrator’s brother at the door until the very end? a. by waiting until the end to mention the brother, the story emphasizes the violence of the storm. b. not telling readers that the narrator’s brother is at the door makes the narrator seem lonely and build tension. c. the story follows events as they occur to ensure that readers understand the characters, conflict, and resolution. d. by withholding the information about the brother until the end, the author creates surprise.
