Explanation:

The reader is going to be surprised with the climax of the story, he or she is going to be living the story one step at a time, that is the climax objective. To create different scenarios for the reader to have the most vividly experience possible.
The different actions that take place in a story create the theme of it.
The main character, and what happens to him/her shape the theme of the story. The reader will live with the main character all the things he or she lives, weather it is action, psychological issues, a love story, etc.
"She said" is the most effective because it is the most simple and direct option.
