WAEC Literature in English 2012 Objective — Question 13

Explanation

Sonnet, ode and lyric are all forms of poetry. Suspense is a literary device, in prose, poetry and drama, that sustains reader's interest. Through the creation of interesting scenes and instances of dramatic irony, suspense is increased in a literary work. A reader is eager to know what is the next course of action, especially in a situation where vengeance is expected to be involved. Suspense increases when a literary work is at the climax.
