The correct answer is D. The senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end.

Explanation:

In writing and speaking, an allusion occurs when there is a reference to an external idea, person, place, situation or literary work without explaining it but just mentioning it as it is supposed the audience already known the idea the author is making reference to and therefore explaining it is not necessary. This figure of speech can be identified in the sentence "The senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end" because, in this, the speaker makes reference to "Achilles' heel" which is a myth in which a Greek Hero called Achiless had only one flaw that was his heel. This means, the author only mention this but do not explain it as it is widely known by people and therefore this is an example of allusion.

In "The Black Cat," the narrator attributes a change in personality to his alcohol abuse. Can the reader trust what the narrator
Talja [164]

The narrator in "The Black Cat" is unreliable precisely because he is a first-person, biased narrator, but his personality may have changed due to a disorder.

<h3>The narrator in "The Black Cat"</h3>

Like many of Edgar Allan Poe's narrators, the narrator in "The Black Cat" is unreliable, which means readers cannot trust him. First-person narrators are frequently, if not always, unreliable. They tell us the story from their own, biased point of view.

According to the narrator, his personality has changed. He used to be a good, caring man, but he became a violent murdered. He blames alcohol for that change, which may or may not be true. Personality disorders may, for example, be the cause of the narrator's change.
