Explanation:

Analyze the definition of suspense building

Suspense is built by creating tension, uncertainty, or anxiety about an upcoming outcome, often by highlighting a ticking clock, a massive obstacle, or an unresolved dilemma.

Evaluate the given dialogue options

• Option 1 expresses concern and questioning, but does not establish an active, unresolved race against time.
• Option 2 states a philosophical proverb about moral duty and safety.
• Option 3 expresses a firm, resolute decision to act.
• Option 4 highlights a massive gap between what has been done (300 visas) and what is needed (thousands more), ending with an urgent, open-ended question ("What are we to do?") that directly builds tension and uncertainty.

Answer:

• (A) YUKIKO: "This is their answer? What about the safety of these foreigners?"
• (B) CHIUNE: There is an old Samurai proverb: "Even a hunter cannot kill a bird that comes to him seeking safety."
