Answer 2

A it builds suspense.

Step-by-step explanation:

A very interesting literary device is to have the narrator announce a terrible and important event, such as a murder or a crime, that will eventually take place, setting the scene for the unfolding of the circumstances that will lead up to that event, creating in the audience a sense of suspense in anticipation of the resolution of the story and the terrible event. Edgar Allan Poe´s narrative comes to mind when thinking of this device.
