Answer:
The tension in this chapter is created by the mere fact of survival.
Explanation:
This scene is one of the most tense in the book. Katniss finds herself in front of something she was not aware of and she discovers as she goes.
She believes that the cornucopia would be a great feast or something like that and yet she realizes that the cornucopia is the key to survival. There, she and the other participants will find the weapons they need to win the hunger games, as well as things necessary to survive.
The scene is a great fight where people begin to die in front of Katniss until she realizes that she was also in danger and needed to move.
This is how she gets her bow and arrow and once she gets them she can walk away from the cornucopia.
