He seemed to be tormented by some strange fancy or apprehension. In spite of every effort to fix his attention on the conversati

on of his companions, I noticed that every now and then he would turn his head slowly round, give a glance over his shoulder, and then withdraw it with a sudden jrk, as if something painful had met his eye. How does the excerpt exemplify Gothic fiction?

Answer :

Gothic fiction is defined as a genre of literature that combines the elements of  death, horror and romance in one fictional work.

This extract from "Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger" by Washington Irving exemplifies gothic fiction by reminding the reader of the presence of evil . The extract speaks of the presence of a ghost that the person described in the extract was afraid of.

Gothic fiction is characterised by an atmosphere of suspense or mystery, shown in this case when the writer is saying that "something painful had met his eye".

Moreover, the word "tormented" when describing how the character feels and the phrase "a sudden jrk" when describing how he reacts, create the image of the character being afflicted and even frightened by something, which is also a characteristic of Gothic fiction.

The whole paragraph is conveying mystery, fright and even darkness.

If your friend said that kinetic energy was changing to potential energy at point C, how would you respond?
ozzi

Answer:

C.  Your friend is incorrect, at this point, the cannon ball just has potential energy.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the kind of energy that an object has due to its position.

The unit for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule, which has the symbol J.

Potential energy is usually related to forces that act on a body in a way that the total work done by these forces on the body depends only on the initial and final positions of the body in space.

These forces, receive the name of conservative forces and can be represented at every point in space by vectors expressed as gradients of a certain scalar function called potential.

Critical Reading The questions below refer to the selection “The Prologue from The Canterbury Tales.” What can the reader infer
emmainna [20.7K]

<em>The Canterbury tale by Geoffrey Chaucer,</em> what the reader infer about the Friar through the following lines is that he will use people for money. Like the prioress and the monk, Friar too fails to establish any of the expected virtues. He arranged marriages by sounding generous because the young women are his mistresses and moreover pregnant.

Further, he injects money through committing the sin of selling "forgiveness' which is supposed to be freely given. Moreover, he kept no acquaintance with the sick or poor. He was a corrupt person, for the private gains he destroys the base of faith in people which was his duty to serve.
