Read this excerpt from "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry.

English
1 answer:
OverLord2011 [107]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is: The pacing slows down the text with deliberate and descriptive language, which gives the story a mysterious atmosphere.

In the excerpt from "After Twenty Years," the author O. Henry describes the winter scene with details about the weather and the how the people in the street are behaving, which gives a sense of mystery to the story.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the events in the passage do not depict surprise, humor or alarm. Besides, there is no further description of the man, and the pacing is not fast.

Which monarch's (member of royalty) break with the Catholic church enabled Shakespeare's career?
matrenka [14]
<span>The correct answer is King Henry VIII.
King Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church because he wanted to divorce his first wife when she did not give him a son. He had fallen in love with another woman and wanted to marry her. The Pope would not grant him a divorce from his first wife, however. Henry then started his own church, the Church of England, and gave himself a divorce.</span>
