"Frida could not stop fretting over where to live during her freshman year. Should she stay at home, move into the dorms, or find an off-campus apartment? The pros and cons kept swirling in her head until she felt almost sick. Maybe it would help to make a list.
"Living at home was obviously the cheapest option. It meant she wouldn't have to worry about cooking or cleaning, either. But
she'd still have to live by her parents' rules. She feared she would miss too much of the college experience she yearned for if she was
only on campus for classes.
"Staying in the dorms would cost more, but her scholarship would cover some of those expenses. She'd eat in the cafeteria, so she
still wouldn't have to bother with cooking or cleaning up. She would have to follow all those school rules about visitors and quiet
hours, though. The dorms always had a lot going on and people to hang out with, but what if they stuck her with a terrible roommate?
"An off-campus apartment would be pricey, unless she was willing to live someplace small and run-down. Frida wasn't sure she was
ready to take care of cooking, cleaning, and bills all by herself. Then again there wouldn't be anyone there to nag her into her doing
something she didn't want to do. If she found a place near the school, she wouldn't have to miss out on any of the action.
"Frida looked down at her list of pros and cons, groaned, and then tossed the paper in the trash. Maybe she'd see what her friends
were going to do and just go with the flow."

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds.beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it.forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire.then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction decreases the tension in the plot because the narrator is simply standing by.the narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction keeps the tension steadily increasing as the narrator comes to realize the men are being killed.the narrator is distracted by his own observations of the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he doesn't react as quickly as he should when the men are killed, thus extending the tension in the plot.the narrator is attentive to the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he immediately understands what has happened when the men are killed, increasing the tension in the plot.
