Which three details in the text work together to build tension in the rising action?
[7] The hour struck for retiring; and the whole household came to escort me to my room.
Why?
[8] They called to me: "Good-night." I entered the apartment, shut the door, and remained
standing, without moving a single step, holding the wax candle in my hand.
[9] I heard laughter and whispering in the corridor. Without doubt they were spying on me.
I cast a glance round the walls, the furniture, the ceiling, the hangings, the floor. I saw
nothing to justify suspicion. I heard persons moving about outside my door. I had no doubt
they were looking through the keyhole....
[10] All the same, there was danger. I was going perhaps to receive a cold shower both
from overhead, or perhaps, the moment I stretched myself out, to find myself sinking to
the floor with my mattress. I searched in my memory for all the practical jokes of which I
ever had experience. And I did not want to be caught. Ah! certainly not! certainly not! Then I
suddenly bethought myself. a precaution which I considered insured safety. I caught hold
of the side of the mattress gingerly, and very slowly drew it toward me. It came away,
followed by the sheet and the rest of the bedclothes. I dragged all these objects into the
very middle of the room, facing the entrance door. I made my bed over again as best I
could at some distance from the suspected bedstead and the corner which had filled me
with such anxiety. Then I extinguished all the candles, and, groping my way, I slipped
under the bed clothes.
The three details from the text that work together to build tension in the rising action are:
"I entered the apartment, shut the door, and remained standing, without moving a single step, holding the wax candle in my hand." I heard persons moving about outside my door. I had no doubt they were looking through the keyhole.... I caught hold of the side of the mattress gingerly, and very slowly drew it toward me.

Aspects of Globalization
Globalized trade is nothing new. Societies in ancient Greece and Rome traded with other societies in Africa, the Middle East, India, and China. Trade expanded further during the Islamic Golden Age and after the rise of the Mongol Empire. The establishment of colonial empires after the voyages of discovery by European countries meant that trade was going on all over the world. In the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution led to even more trade of ever-increasing amounts of goods. However, the advance of technology, especially communications, after World War II and the Cold War triggered the explosive acceleration in the process occurring today.
One way to look at the similarities and differences that exist among the economies of different nations is to compare their standards of living. The statistic most commonly used to do this is the domestic process per capita. This is the gross domestic product, or GDP, of a country divided by its population. The table below compares the top 11 countries with the bottom 11 out of the 228 countries listed in the CIA World Factbook.
There are benefits and drawbacks to globalization. Some of the benefits include the exponentially accelerated progress of development, the creation of international awareness and empowerment, and the potential for increased wealth (Abedian 2002). However, experience has shown that countries can also be weakened by globalization. Some critics of globalization worry about the growing influence of enormous international financial and industrial corporations that benefit the most from free trade and unrestricted markets. They fear these corporations can use their vast wealth and resources to control governments to act in their interest rather than that of the local population (Bakan 2004). Indeed, when looking at the countries at the bottom of the list above, we are looking at places where the primary benefactors of mineral exploitation are major corporations and a few key political figures.
Other critics oppose globalization for what they see as negative impacts on the environment and local economies. Rapid industrialization, often a key component of globalization, can lead to widespread economic damage due to the lack of regulatory environment (Speth 2003). Further, as there are often no social institutions in place to protect workers in countries where jobs are scarce, some critics state that globalization leads to weak labor movements (Boswell and Stevis 1997). Finally, critics are concerned that wealthy countries can force economically weaker nations to open their markets while protecting their own local products from competition (Wallerstein 1974). This can be particularly true of agricultural products, which are often one of the main exports of poor and developing countries (Koroma 2007). In a 2007 article for the United Nations, Koroma discusses the difficulties faced by “least developed countries” (LDCs) that seek to participate in globalization efforts. These countries typically lack the infrastructure to be flexible and nimble in their production and trade, and therefore are vulnerable to everything from unfavorable weather conditions to international price volatility. In short, rather than offering them more opportunities, the increased competition and fast pace of a globalized market can make it more challenging than ever for LDCs to move forward (Koroma 2007).
The increasing use of outsourcing of manufacturing and service-industry jobs to developing countries has caused increased unemployment in some developed countries. Countries that do not develop new jobs to replace those that move, and train their labor force to do them, will find support for globalization weakening.
The main idea (or central idea) of the text is: "Globalized trade is nothing new."
What is main idea?In a text, the main idea is the central idea - the idea around which all other ideas or concepts revolve.
