Question

Which scenario is the best example of tension?

A.A mother discovers her little boy surrounded by a spilled box of cereal in the kitchen.
B.A giant growling dog rushes out to meet an unsuspecting jogger.
C.While at the drive-thru, Juan remembers he has a coupon in his wallet.
D.Two brothers rush to open a box of doughnuts to find only one left.

Answer 1

B. Tension is described as emotional stress or strain, and a giant dog is surely the most tension-inducing scenario.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. A giant growling dog rushes out to meet an unsuspecting jogger.

Tension is achieved similarly to suspense - when you are on the edge of your seat, wondering what's going to happen next. Here, we need to find the best example of tension - although D could also be correct, B is a better answer because it is more mysterious and we want to find out about the result.
