Question

Which best describes this excerpt?

Read the excerpt from "A Simple Way to Create Suspense".
For instance, heading toward a movie review program,
remember we asked: Who was the studio's first choice for
the Harry Callahan role in "Dirty Harry"?
We knew most viewers would be intrigued. (What, Clint
Eastwood wasn't the first choice?) But—and this was the
lesson—the success of the tactic didn't depend on intrigue.
Even viewers with no interest at all stuck around to find out.
Humans are hard-wired. They need to know. Even viewers
who knew the answer for sure stuck around, in order to be
gratified. The gap was bridged, and the danger averted. (It
was Frank Sinatra. You waited, right?)
O The central idea of this excerpt is that Clint Eastwood was
not the original choice for the Dirty Harry movie.
O The central idea of this excerpt is that intrigue is the most

characters of a Hollywood movie.

audiences are willing to wait for an answer.
