Read the excerpt from a short story. They had laughed at the shabbiness of the hotel. “Oh well,” they’d said, “we aren’t going t

o spend any time inside.” And they had not. They’d spent the day and evening sightseeing and had not retreated to their rooms until they were spent. Now Ana appraised her modest accommodations, remembering how the window in her room had amused her friends, as it offered a view of a brick wall not six inches away. “You get what you pay for!” they’d exclaimed, closing the heavy curtains. The window captured Ana’s attention again. As she readied for bed, she heard a persistent tapping coming from outside. Ana reasoned with herself, reminded herself that only small bird or bug in distress could fit in such a space. The tapping suggested otherwise, and she turned to investigate. How does the excerpt exemplify the ideas King describes in "Danse Macabre"?

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."
Tasya [4]

Hello there!

The details from the narration relate Rainsford’s impression of Zaroff are

*almost bizarre quality about the general's face

*his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night

*His eyes, too, were black and very bright

*the face of an aristocrat

Those are descriptive details that allow us to know how is the reaction and impression of Rainsford.  

Hope this helps.

Identify the choice that best describes the sentence.
katrin [286]
The correct answer is C. complex.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the independent clause is <em>Galileo, the first astronomer to use a telescope, confirmed the theory </em>and the dependent clause is <em>that the earth and planets circle the sun.
</em>A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains only one independent clause; B is incorrect because a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses; D is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least two dependent ones.
