Question

read the passage. the open window by h.h. munro (saki) \my aunt will be down presently, mr. nuttel,\ said a very self - possessed young lady of fifteen; \in the meantime you must try and put up with me.\ framton nuttel endeavored to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. what information does the author withhold to create surprise? framtons fear of dogs mrs. sappletons insanity framtons mental illness and anxiety disorder veras tendency for making up outlandish stories

Explanation:

In "The Open Window", Vera tells Framton a fabricated story. The surprise in the story comes when it's revealed that her tales are made - up. The author withholds Vera's tendency for making up outlandish stories to create this surprise. Framton's fear of dogs, Mrs. Sappleton's supposed insanity, and Framton's mental illness are not the key withheld elements for the main surprise.

Answer:

Vera's tendency for making up outlandish stories
