Apex Demons torturing sinners.

Dante is describing sinners suffering in boiling pitch. Their suffering is eternal; they suffer in the pitch, and they suffer when they break the surface.

There is a pool of boiling pitch that the souls bob in and out of. When they break the surface, a demon grabs them and tears them apart. By remaining under the pitch for as long as possible, they can escape the demon's tortures and gain a form of peace. (This is a relative form of "peace" because they are still submerged in boiling pitch.)

When a demon does pull a sinner out, Dante describes him being pulled out by his hair. The demon, with the sinner hanging out of his mouth, appears to look like an otter.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:
Digiron [165]
A true story of an act of terror followed by a show of American strength <span>would best support the president's claim in this excerpt.  A true story is vivid and memorable, especially if it can be shown visually. But even if it is simply described verbally, it makes an immediate impact on listeners.  The other possibilities (e.g. landscape photographs or personal reflections) would have  much less effect.</span>

Question 1 of 25
puteri [66]

Answer:

O A. Could you tell me a little more about how you became a mime?

Explanation:

In general, the word "clarify" is used when more information about an already existing topic is needed or wanted. This means that extra detail is needed to clear any confusion or query.

So, a clarification question is one where an interviewer asked the interviewee 'extra' questions about an already discussed topic. This means that when the interviewer asked questions such as<em><u> "Could you tell me more about how you became a mime?"</u></em> he/ she is asking for more information from the other person. This is done to get more clarity on who the person is, or to get more information on how the person came to be. A clarification question is just asking an extra question, and not about asking for any new information.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
