"if he was no worse by night he might pull through." at noon he was seized with a sudden sinking spell. oxygen was applied by his wife and a nurse, and the doctor sent for. by one-thirty he was lower still, very low. "his face was blue, his lips ashen," his wife told me. "we put the oxygen tube to his mouth and i said 'can you speak, peter? ' i was so nervous and frightened. he moved his head a little to indicate 'no.' 'peter,' i said, 'you mustn't let go! you must fight! think of me! think of the babies! ' i was a little crazy, i think, with fear. he looked at me very fixedly. he stiffened and gritted his teeth in a great effort. then suddenly he collapsed and lay still. he was dead." a) this excerpt shows the writer’s use of figurative language to hold the reader’s attention. b) this excerpt shows how the writer develops peter's character. c) this excerpt shows how the writer is trying to pace the story through flashbacks. d) this excerpt shows how the writer is trying to develop a specific conflict.
