lack Death. What is it, and what caused it?
From “The Masque of the Red Death”

The “Red Death” had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.


a breakout of tuberculosis transmitted by airborne saliva (coughing)


an influenza epidemic that was transmitted between humans by contact

What is the structure of the passage below?
hodyreva [135]

The correct answer is Cause and effect

Explanation:

The text presented focuses on the economic crisis of 2008. In this, the author first refers to this event through a general statement "Many people are confused about why our economy went to shambles in 2008", and then explains the causes of the event. Additionally, to do this, the author enumerates the causes, this can be seen in "Second, banks would bundle these toxic loans...".

This means the general organization of this text is to mention an event and then explain the causes of it in detail. This only occurs in the cause and effect organization because this the only one that allows authors to explore the causes and/or effects of one or more events. According to this, the structure is cause and effect.

Which statement correctly describes the characterization in this excerpt?
ladessa [460]

The statement that describes the characterization correctly is narrator's description characterizes Robin Hood as generous (option D).

<h3>What is characterization?</h3>

Characterization is a term to refer to the action of determining the particular attributes of someone or something to distinguish it from others. You may refer to:

  • Characters
  • Fonts
  • Web pages
  • Companies
  • Products

According to the above, it can be inferred that the sentence that describes the characterization correctly is option D because the author delves into the characteristics of Robin Hood so that he can be distinguished as generous.

Note: This question is incomplete because the fragment is missing. Here is the fragment:

IN MERRY ENGLAND in the time of old, when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was Robin Hood. No archer ever lived that could speed a gray goose shaft with such skill and cunning as his, nor were there ever such yeomen as the sevenscore merry men that roamed with him through the greenwood shades. Right merrily they dwelled within the depths of Sherwood Forest, suffering neither care nor want, but passing the time in merry games of archery or bouts of cudgel play, living upon the King's venison, washed down with draughts of ale of October brewing. Not only Robin himself but all the band were outlaws and dwelled apart from other men, yet they were beloved by the country people round about, for no one ever came to jolly Robin for help in time of need and went away again with an empty fist. And now I will tell how it came about that Robin Hood fell afoul of the law. When Robin was a youth of eighteen, stout of sinew and bold of heart, the Sheriff of Nottingham proclaimed a shooting match and offered a prize of a butt of ale to whosoever should shoot the best shaft in Nottinghamshire. "Now," quoth Robin, "will I go too, for fain would I draw a string for the bright eyes of my lass and a butt of good October brewing." So up he got and took his good stout yew bow and a score or more of broad clothyard arrows, and started off from Locksley Town through Sherwood Forest to Nottingham.
