Read the excerpt from "a simple way to create suspense".
for instance, heading toward a movie review program, i 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? )
which best describes this excerpt?
the central idea of this excerpt is that clint eastwood was not the original choice for the dirty harry movie.
the central idea of this excerpt is that intrigue is the most important way to create suspense.
the author uses an analogy to compare his readers to the characters of a hollywood movie.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the ? 1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
