Read the excerpt from a short story. after two hours of a tedious cinematic production, the dim aisle lights flickered back on. having endured scenes of fake gore and the phony distress of deficient actors, i stood to leave with a measure of relief. i would breathe easy in the open air, away from the greasy odors and the sniffling man whose cough had noisily barked over the on-screen dialogue. my steps slowed as the queue of exiting patrons jammed the aisles. then the sliver of light from the exit door went dark. the theater was briefly silent, and i heard the unmistakable sound of a deadbolt locking. what technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt? the word choice darkens the tone. odd characters are introduced. the setting details are intentionally omitted. the outcome of events becomes uncertain.

anybody knows the answer?

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
