Answer:

The man was about to be hanged.

Explanation:

Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.

The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.

Answer:

Your answer is Option A

Explanation:

Based on the given poem, the narrator says that he hears the flute of the narrator from his room and it is very beautiful, when it is dark.

He further narrates that in the daytime when the neighbor plays the flute, he does not want to hear it because it is daylight and the neighbor is far and has a bald head so he runs away and looks for something else to occupy his time.

When night time approaches, when he bears the flute, he tries to remove the image of the fat, bald man and think of him as a young man and the music is sweet to his ears once again.

The contrast the narrator creates develops the theme of the poem by portraying the narrator's vanity by wanting the beauty of the music to match the image of the man (option A)

Answer:

Sensory Adaption- Sensory adaptation is a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it. While sensory adaptation reduces our awareness of a constant stimulus, it helps free up our attention and resources to attend to other stimuli in the environment around us.

Perceptual Set- A perceptual set refers to a predisposition to perceive things in a certain way. In other words, we often tend to notice only certain aspects of an object or situation while ignoring other details.

Extrasensory Perception- the faculty of perceiving things by means other than the known senses, e.g., by telepathy or clairvoyance.

Parapsychology-Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena and other paranormal claims, for example related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc. It is considered to be pseudoscience and is rejected by a vast majority of mainstream scientists.
