Question

3. Read the passage below from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Answer 1

Answer:

“TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?”

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "The Tell-tale Heart", the narrator tries to convince the readers that he is not a mad man, even though his words and behavior seem to prove otherwise.

The narrator asserts that although he is nervous, he isn't a madman and it is buttressed in his statement where he said, “TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?”
