Explanation:

Suspense is a device that authors use to keep their readers intrigued to the story. Through this device the authors create the emotions that something bad is going to happen or to make readers sensible to the bad omen.

This device keeps the readers engaged letting them to want to know what will happen next.

In the given situation, the expression that creates suspense would be option D. It is because as Marjorie is already waiting for the phone call of Russ and wondering why he did not call? So, when she would pick up the call only to listen screams and then phone going dead, will create suspense of what happened.

Thus the correct answer is option D.

it was surely an odd creature that one made up by reading the historians first and the poets afterwards a worm winged like an eagle; the spirit of life and elegance and charm,   in a kitchen chopping up suet. but these creatures, monst'r however entertaining to the imagination, hast no existence in fact. what one might doth to bringeth h'r to life wast to bethink poetically and prosaically at one and the same moment,   thus keeping in toucheth with fact—that the lady is mrs martin, ag'd thirty-six, did dress in blue, wearing a black coxcomb and brown shoeth; but not losing sight of fiction eith'r—that the lady is a vessel in which all s'rts of spirits and f'rces art coursing and flashing p'rpetually. the moment, howev'r, yond one tries this method with the elizabethan mistress, one brancheth of illumination fails; one is did hold up by the scarcity of facts.   one knoweth nothing detailed, nothing p'rfectly true and substantial about h'r.   hist'ry scarcely mentions h'r.   and i did turn to professeth'r trevelyan again to seeth what hist'ry meanteth to that gent.   i hath found by looking at his chapt'r headings yond t meanteth.
