Which two sentences best show how the third-person point of view contributes to a feeling of excitement and suspense in the passage? excerpt from

Around the World in 80 Days
by Jules Verne

Phileas Fogg rightly suspected that his departure from London would create a lively sensation at the West End. The news of the quest spread and afforded an interesting topic of conversation to many. From the neighborhood, it soon got into the papers throughout England. The boasted "tour of the world" was talked about, disputed, argued with much warmth and passion. Some took sides with Phileas Fogg, but the large majority shook their heads and declared against him. “It was absurd, impossible,” they declared, “that the tour of the world could be made.” The Times, Standard, Morning Post, and Daily News, and twenty other highly respectable newspapers labeled Mr. Fogg's project as ridiculous. The Daily Telegraph alone hesitatingly supported him. People in general thought he was foolish. Everything, it said, was against the travelers, every obstacle imposed alike by man and by nature.
