Question

What do the three dots in the sentence suggest?

She opened the door and saw . . . a cake!

• A. a trailing thought
• B. an omission
• C. repetition
• D. figure of speech

Answer 1

The correct option is A a trailing thought

It obviously suggests a trailing thought. She opened the door with the expectation that someone must be at the door but she sees a cake to her surprise. Thus, Option A is correct and the other options cancel out.
