From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. i hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the door with the key i’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. the floorboards creaked a welcome as i investigated. i admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. then i made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. i glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. wait. i glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. how could it be? my hand touched my skin—the image i faced was a much older version of myself. i backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. i tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as i lunged for the door. what technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt? darkening the word choice quickening the pace of the story intentionally omitting setting details making the outcome of events uncertain

Governor reagan: mr. ellis, i think this idea that has been spawned here in our country, that inflation somehow came upon us like a plague and therefore it's uncontrollable and no one can do anything about it, is entirely spurious, and it's dangerous to say this to the people. when mr. carter became president, inflation was 4.8 percent, as you said. it had been cut in two by president gerald ford. it is now running at 12.7 percent. president carter also has spoken of the new jobs created . . but that can't hide the fact that there are 8 million men and women out of work in america today, and 2 million of those lost their jobs in just the last few months. mr. carter had also promised that he would not use unemployment as a tool to fight against inflation. and yet, his 1980 economic message stated that we would reduce productivity and gross national product and increase unemployment in order to get a handle on inflation, because in january, at the beginning of the year, it was more than 18 percent. which reasons and evidence does reagan use to support his argument? check all that apply. (1) the gross national product in 1979 (2) the gross national product in 1980 (3) the decrease in inflation rates (4) the increase in inflation rates (5) the number of jobs lost (6) the number of jobs created
