In the Prologue, which element correctly describes the effect produced by Mrs. Hale's reserve about Ethan's smash-up? A. suspense B. flashback C. irony D. frame story

Hey I’ve been wondering this same question. However I know for a fact that the answer is NOT B. Flashback, Because I gave this answer on my test and it was wrongI’ve also been looking at the actual book and I’m thinking that the Answer is A. Suspense. Because of the fact Mrs. Hale is reluctant to speak about the "Smash-Up"
