Which two parts of this excerpt from w. w. jacobs's "the monkey's paw" develop a suspenseful mood? "likely," said herbert, with pretended horror. "why, we're going to be rich, and famous, and happy. wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked." he darted around the table, pursued by the maligned mrs. white armed with an antimacassar. mr. white took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "i don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly. “it seems to me i've got all i want." "if you only cleared the house, you'd be quite happy, wouldn't you! " said herbert, with his hand on his shoulder. "well, wish for two hundred pounds, then; that'll just do it." his father, smiling shamefacedly at his own credulity, held up the talisman, as his son, with a solemn face, somewhat marred by a wink at his mother, sat down and struck a few impressive chords. "i wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly. a fine crash from the piano greeted his words, interrupted by a shuddering cry from the old man. his wife and son ran toward him. "it moved," he cried, with a glance of disgust at the object as it lay on the floor. "as i wished, it twisted in my hand like a snake." "well, i don't see the money," said his son, as he picked it up and placed it on the table, "and i bet i never shall." "it must have been your fancy, father," said his wife, regarding him anxiously. he shook his head. "never mind, though; there's no harm done, but it gave me a shock all the same."

Chicago by carl sandburg hog butcher for the world, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and the nation's freight handler; stormy, husky, brawling, city of the big shoulders: they tell me you are wicked and i believe them, for i have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. and they tell me you are crooked and i yes, it is true i have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. and they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: on the faces of women and children i have seen the marks of wanton hunger. and having answered so i turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and i give them back the sneer and say to them: come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning. flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, bareheaded, shoveling, wrecking, planning, building, breaking, rebuilding, under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse. and under his ribs the heart of the people, laughing! laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be hog butcher, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and freight handler to the nation. which type of figurative language does the poet use most often in "chicago"? a. rhyme b. simile c. metaphor d. personification
