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.

Read the bolded sentence in the passage Advise a Gr 12 learner on how to find
Vilka [71]

Dear Gr 12 learner, I bet you've heard the phrase "with great powers comes great responsibilities." This phrase is very true, especially at that moment in life that you are living in, where your greatest power is freedom. My advice to you is that you take advantage of this moment and use the freedom that is offered to you, but don't forget the responsibility that comes with it and that responsibility is to maintain responsible behavior.

Freedom is a privilege held with responsibility. For this, it is important that you understand that there are situations that are not appropriate, beneficial and progressive which you should not get involved in and act responsibly to avoid them, thus maintaining not only your freedom, but your moral and physical integrity , as well as your safety.

Freedom with responsibility is not difficult, it will be necessary for you to stay focused on good things, in addition to maintaining the trust of those who allow you to have access to freedom. In that case, I need to issue a second piece of advice, which is to always ask older and more experienced people about what behavior to adopt in situations that you think might lead you to irresponsibility.

I believe that with this advice you will make very good and uplifting decisions.

maria [59]

Answer:

It's a series in a list

Explanation:

The author is listing out why we remember the soldiers. Commas are used to separate these words so they are not all read at one, but they are read with a pause in between.
