Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.



I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me.

How does Poe portray the madness of the narrator in the passage above?

The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe and surrounds fear and death. Poe portrays the madness of the narrator through the lines, “By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung. Thus, option B is correct.

The complete question is attached to the image below.

The Pit and the Pendulum is a story that reveals the topics of death and fear. The madness of the narrator is not so obvious at first and does seem sane at the beginning of the story.

But by the end of the narration, the readers can see that the narrator is getting insane and mad as can be seen by the lines that show not so great mental health of the narrator. He seemed to have been shocked and was trembling at his own voice.

Therefore, the narrator was getting mad as the story was coming to an end.

Here are some more questions I would like to ask Representative Weaver. If the driving age is raised to 21, what will happen to all the afternoon
jobs, the afternoon sports, and the afternoon programs that require some sort of transportation? What will happen to America's economy (and
its spirit) when high schoolers can no longer work the fast-food jobs and restaurant hostess positions? "A teenager behind the wheel is the
symbol of American youth," writes author Peter Chacha: What will happen to this symbol if Representative Weaver's plan is approved? Weaver
also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21
really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often? That is, we know the police have their eye on the
teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?
But I can hear it now: "If teenagers are all So safe, why do they have such high accident rates?* Here's a possible answer, inexperience. Like
anybody who is inexperienced, the teenage driver must suffer through a legitimate period of self-doubt and skills acquisition. Chances are, if the
driving age were moved to 21, we would see 21- to 24-year-olds causing the largest percentage of safety problems-not because of a maturity
problem, mind you, but just because they would be inexperienced at driving.

Which evidence In the n passage best supports the Inference that there Is mystery behind the design of the Leaning Tower?
excerpt from The Innocents Abroad
by Mark Twain
At Pisa we climbed up to the top of the strangest structure the world has any knowledge of-the Leaning Tower. As
everyone knows, it is in the neighborhood of one hundred and eighty feet high-and I beg to observe that one hundred
and eighty feet reach to about the height of four ordinary three-story buildings piled one on top of the other, and is a
very considerable altitude for a tower of uniform thickness to aspire to, even when it stands upright-yet this one leans
more than thirteen feet out of the perpendicular. It is seven hundred years old, but neither history or tradition say
whether it was built as it is, purposely, or whether one of its sides has settled. There is no record that it ever stood
straight up. It is built of marble. It is an airy and a beautiful structure, and each of its eight stories is encircled by fluted
columns, some of marble and some of granite, with Corinthian capitals that were handsome when they were new. It is a
bell tower, and in its top hangs a chime of ancient bells. The winding staircase within is dark, but one always knows
which side of the tower he is on because of his naturally gravitating from one side to the other of the staircase with the
rise or dip of the tower. Some of the stone steps are foot-worn only on one end; others only on the other end; others
only in the middle. To look down into the tower from the top is likeriooking down into a tilted well. A rope that hangs
from the center of the top touches the wall before it reaches the böttom. Standing on the summit, one does not feel
altogether comfortable when he looks down from the high side; but to crawl on your breast to the verge on the lower
side and try to stretch your neck out far enough to see the base of the tower, makes your flesh creep, and convinces you
for a single moment in spite of all your philosophy, that the building is falling.

Read this poem:
How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness every where!
And yet this time removed was summer's time;
The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime,
Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease:
Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me
But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit;
For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,
And, thou away, the very birds are mute;
Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near.
