Read this passage from Poe's "The Black Cat." What technique does Poe use to build suspense in this first paragraph of the story? But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul.

In their consequences, these events have terrified have tortured have destroyed me. Edgar Allan Poe, "The Black Cat"A. RepetitionB. Word ChoiceC. PersonificationD. Foreshadowing
