Answer: B. The repetition of the world "louder"

Explanation: First, by process of elimination, we know it couldn't be A or C because there was no foreshadowing or flashback present in the text. Also, short sentences are considered a staple of suspense writing because it increases the pace. However, the repetition of the word "louder" is suspenseful because it increases anticipation.
