Answer:

The correct answers are part 1 and part 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first part, the way in which Mr. White moved around the table, and held the paw staring at it doubtfully, generates the sensation of suspense, without knowing what he can ask for, and what will happen if he does.

In the second part, the suspense created is more explicit. With the loud crash from the piano, and Mr. White's screaming desperate because the paw twisted in his hands like a snake.
