Question

1. choose two ways in which the author creates sus

by mentioning that the golden carp laid eggs

by indicating that the carp traveled together up the river

by describing the dangers the carp faced while traveling up the river

by stating that the harbor had been the golden carp’s home her whole life

by demonstrating the golden carp’s attempts to get to the top of the waterfall

Explanation:

To determine the ways the author creates (likely "suspense" or a similar effect, though the question is cut off), we analyze each option:

• "by mentioning that the golden carp laid eggs" is a neutral event, not creating tension.
• "by indicating that the carp traveled together up the river" is just a description of movement, not tension - building.
• "by describing the dangers the carp faced while traveling up the river" introduces conflict/danger, which creates tension.
• "by stating that the harbor had been the golden carp’s home her whole life" is background info, not tension - building.
• "by demonstrating the golden carp’s attempts to get to the top of the waterfall" shows struggle/effort against a challenge, creating tension.

Assuming the question is about creating suspense or engagement, the two correct options are the ones describing danger and attempts at the waterfall (and/or the journey with danger). If we pick two, a likely pair is "by describing the dangers the carp faced while traveling up the river" and "by demonstrating the golden carp’s attempts to get to the top of the waterfall" (along with possible others, but these two involve conflict/effort).

Answer:

C. by describing the dangers the carp faced while traveling up the river, E. by demonstrating the golden carp’s attempts to get to the top of the waterfall (Note: Adjust identifiers if the original options had different labels; here we assume the options are labeled A - E in order as presented)
