Alondra Sellers · Answer 1

how Mr. Hyde killed the man.

Explanation:

All what the conflict portrays in the excerpt given above in suspense, makes us ponder how Mr. Hyde killed the man. The sudden outburst of anger, the stamping of his feet, the cane brandishing like a man who is made prior to the actual killing of the man. Further more more suspense is being delivered here as the action that took place in the killing if the man by Mr. Hyde was delayed.

The conflict in the excerpt above, most likely creates suspense by making the reader wonder "how Mr. Hyde killed the man."

The conflict in this excerpt creates suspense by making the reader wonder

why Mr. Hyde killed the man.

Explanation:

This is because, during the describtion made by the maid about the reaction of the his master (about stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane e. t. c), the man never felt endengered but was rather urprised that the maid was saying all those things.

Otherwise, he would have been exremely careful with the whole situation he found out rather than one showing that all situation is exaggerated greatly.
