In "Party Problem," the author builds suspense primarily through the actions and interactions of the characters.
- **A** focuses on Darla receiving a text not meant for her, which suggests a buildup of tension and intrigue.
- **B** refers to Laney's secretive actions regarding her diet, hinting at deception that could lead to conflict.
- **C** discusses Lori tricking Laney, introducing an element of manipulation that can create suspense.
- **D** seems less relevant to building suspense, as it centers on Darla's achievements rather than the tensions between characters.
Among these, choices **A**, **B**, or **C** could all serve to create suspense, but if one had to choose the most effective method, it would likely be **C** because the intrigue of manipulation often heightens the stakes in interpersonal dynamics. Thus the answer is likely **C**: by showing the ways Lori tricks Laney into acting along.
