Marjorie had been waiting for Russ to call all day. What could possibly
be keeping him? She went home and tried her best to sleep. Just after
she managed to slip into some fitful dreams, her phone suddenly
began buzzing. She picked it up. "Russ?" she said.
Which ending to the scene would create the most suspense?
O A. "Congratulations," Russ said. "I thought I was the best, but you
finally beat me."
OB. "I heard back from the doctor," Russ said, "and it turns out that I
have the flu."
C. She heard Russ's heavy breathing. "Sorry I'm late," he said. "I was
out jogging."
D. But all Marjorie heard was screaming. Then the phone suddenly
went dead

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Suspense is a device that authors use to keep their readers intrigued to the story. Through this device the authors create the emotions that something bad is going to happen or to make readers sensible to the bad omen.

This device keeps the readers engaged letting them to want to know what will happen next.

In the given situation, the expression that creates suspense would be option D. It is because as Marjorie is already waiting for the phone call of Russ and wondering why he did not call? So, when she would pick up the call only to listen screams and then phone going dead, will create suspense of what happened.

Thus the correct answer is option D.
