Answer:

The Inquisition is the historical context that frames Poe’s short story.

Explanation:

The unnamed narrator has been sentenced to death and relates his violent experience, which despite being a fictional account of an unlikely event, it´s an accurate depiction of how violent the Inquisition was. In this sense, Inquisition is a great subject or setting for the genre of horror, given its explicitly violent events, which Poe enhances to conceive a suspenseful story, with only an implicit political agenda to condemn the Inquisition.

In this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo encounters Paris when he enters Juliet’s grave. Paris challe
Kay [80]

Paris is deeply affected for Romeo's having slain his beloved cousin. The strong need for a revenge takes control of his impulse to challenge Romeo to a duel. The character of Romeo is depicted as an eloquent young noble man who is fond of love and brotherhood with a high respect for friendship. However, he is well trained in the act of fighting. His fear for divine punishment is reflected in his words when he says: "Put not another sin upon my head." In addition to his pincely manners and dexterity with the sword, we can infer that he has strong religious beliefs.

Which is the most precise and concise way to rewrite the following sentence from "A Fable" by Mark Twain?
svlad2 [7]

<span>A.) The subject was dropped, but it was clear that it would be brought up again.</span>

<span>
</span>

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible.  It is important to keep in mind that when you are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there are in a sentence.  Thus, it is always best to communicate with the fewest words possible.  Let’s take a look at another example.  Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting next to you tries to warn you by saying the following:  “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.”  How would that work?  Now, compare that to the more exact/precise sentence of “Duck!”  See how that works?
