Heart of a Samurai

A bird! He sat up and shook his friend. "Goemon-chan!" he said. "A bird!"
Goemon opened one eye. "It's a bird, that is true:" Goemon closed his eyes again.
"Ahodori-
fool bird . . ."
"But, Goemon-chan!" Manjiro shook him again. "Doesn't a bird mean there could be land nearby?"
"Yes," Goemon sighed. Suddenly his head popped up. "Did you say land?"
The two boys shook the others, and they all stared over the side of the boat at a small, dark line on the horizon. As the boat drifted toward it, the dark line grew into a tall, looming shape: an island.

Answer:

A. It creates suspense

Explanation:

The whole passage is leading up to the discovery of the island.

The diction the passage also uses creates a sense of suspense. Words like "dark," and "looming shape" help employ suspense.

The dialogue also helps create the suspense because the guys are excited that there may be an island.

By describing the island this way it makes the reader want to stay and see what happens on the island.

Hope this helps!!
