D) Put all his eggs in one basket
This dire feeling was inspired by the sight of the House of Usher itself. The excerpt is from the very first paragraph of the story, at which moment we have no idea who the Ushers are, what's wrong with their house (or them), or even who the narrator is. We just get to find out how it made him feel. It infused him with gloom, bleakness, and depression so great that he couldn't comprehend it or understand its cause. This feeling has two functions: it foreshadows that something bad is about to happen at this house, and it builds suspense by signaling to the reader that the house itself is haunted or cursed in some other way - almost as if it had a soul and will of its own.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.
What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?
The idea that humans crave challenges and activity
The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
The idea that humans were obsessed with small things
Answer:
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
Explanation:
The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.
