English
2 answers:
nignag [31]3 years ago

1. The correct answer is A. Melissa said that she would never go on a cruise.


B is incorrect because the question mark has to be inside the quotation marks, not outside of it. C is incorrect because there has to be a comma after the word <em>replied, </em>and there is none. This leaves us with sentence A, which is the correct answer here - it is the correct reported speech.


2. The correct answer is B. Li promised to cut back but asked, “Can I have one soft drink at dinner?”


A is incorrect because you don't need quotation marks for this, or you would have to delete the word <em>to </em>and add a comma, leaving quotation marks in order for this sentence to be correct. C is incorrect because the word <em>sure </em>also has to be inside quotation marks. Therefore, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the idea of the story 'The Pit and the Pendulum ?'</h3>

The Pit and the Pendulum is a story that reveals the topics of death and fear. The madness of the narrator is not so obvious at first and does seem sane at the beginning of the story.

But by the end of the narration, the readers can see that the narrator is getting insane and mad as can be seen by the lines that show not so great mental health of the narrator. He seemed to have been shocked and was trembling at his own voice.

Therefore, the narrator was getting mad as the story was coming to an end.
