Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his crue

lty?
“…I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched.”

“I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.“

“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.”

“Although I thus readily accounted to my reason, if not altogether to my conscience, for the startling fact just detailed, it did not the less fail to make a deep impression upon my fancy.”

Answer:

The quotation from <em>The Black Cat</em> that best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his cruelty is <u>the third one</u>: <em>“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.” </em>

Explanation:

By reading these lines we can understand how <u>the speaker in conscious about the wrong he has done.</u> He knew what he was doing and knew that was wrong and did it anyways. <u>He knew it was a sin</u>, and a big one. So big that it was "<em>beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God</em>". This means that <em>he knew he deserved a punishment from God</em> that, even with His infinite mercy, wouldn't be able to forgive what he had done.

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United. Perhaps no one in Clarkston was as excited to hear about the free soccer program as eight
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

D. Jeremiah wants to join the soccer program.

Explanation:

<em>Outcast United </em>by Warren St. John tells the story of Luma al-Mufleh, a Jordanian national who came to the United States to escape her country's strict regulations on girls. Later, she would become a soccer coach for the Fugees, a football club she founded for the refugee kids in and around Clarkston, Georgia.

The given excerpt is about the Ziaty family who had come from Liberia to escape the civil war. But due to her inability to feel safe, the mother Beatrice Ziaty ordered her kids to not venture out of the house ever. So, the three kids were all cooped up in the house all day. The start of the football program excites the kids, especially Jeremiah who was eager to be part of the free program. Moreover, he was eager to be going out of the house to do what he loves best. Thus, we can conclude that Jeremiah wants to be part of the soccer program.
