"The Raven" is a poem written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in January 1845. The poem is often well-known for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a troubled lover, sketching the man's fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. In his Poem The Raven, like in most of his work, Poe depicts horror and a sense of schizophrenia, but his short story deals primarily with the psychology of guilt.

The underlined phrase is an example of this poetic device:

C. Alliteration

(c) The number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X and the last is J is 24,288.

The word will of the form: K _ _ _ _ or X _ _ _ _

There are 2 ways to fill the first space, i.e. with either K or X.

The remaining 4 spaces can be filled in (25 × 24 × 23 × 22) ways.

Then the total number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is:

Number of 5-letter word = 2 × 25 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 607200

(b)

In case the repetition are allowed the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is:

Thus, the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (with repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is 913,952.

(c)

The condition applied is: 1st letter is K or X and the last letter is J.

There are 2 ways to fill the first space, i.e. with either K or X, and the last with J.

Repetition is not allowed.

The remaining 3 spaces can be filled in (24 × 23 × 22) ways.

Then the total number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X and the last is J is:

Number of 5-letter word = 2 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 24288

Serga [27]

Read the excerpt from the beginning of Chapter 1 of Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson.

SQUIRE TRELAWNEY, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.

Which best explains why the narrator mentions the gentleman’s names in the opening sentence?

A: to establish credibility, suggesting many want to hear his tale

B: to foreshadow the story’s ending, as personalities are revealed

C: to give background information on his father’s occupation

D: to help the reader visualize the inhabitants of the inn

Answer:

The narrator mentions the gentleman's names in the opening sentence A: to establish credibility, suggesting many want to hear his tale

Explanation:

The best answer is option A because he mentioned specific names, SQUIRE TRELAWNEY and Dr. Livesey who are people that can be verified which shows that he started the opening sentence with their name to establish credibility while also showing that many others want to hear his tale.

The other options are incorrect becaause there is no mention of the personalities of the people involved or backgrund information about his father's occupation, neither is it escriptive of the inn in any distinct way.
