Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The Fall of the House of Usher is a short Gothic story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

The story is about the narrator's visit to his friend, Roderick Usher's house. The narrator arrives at his friend's house and describes the structure of the house.

<u>In the given excerpt, the narrator is describing the Usher's ancient house which is unearthly. The narrator observes the antiquity of the Usher's age-old mansion. The mansion is 'discolored' and 'fungi' is spread over the mansion. The narrator tells that even though the mansion is old none of its portion is fallen or broken. </u>

The wild inconsistency that he is talking about in the excerpt is about the contrast between the parts that are perfectly adapted and the conditions of the stone that was crumbling.

So, the correct answer is option A.

Contribute to the development of the ideas in the text the Tipping Point
umka2103 [35]

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell is a book about how small actions at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people can create a "tipping point" for anything from a product to an idea to a trend. Gladwell is not a sociologist, but he relies on sociological studies, and those from other disciplines within the social sciences to write articles and books that both the general public and social scientists find fascinating and worthwhile. According to Gladwell, the "tipping point" is "that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire."

According to Gladwell, there are three variables that determine whether and when the tipping point for a product, idea, or phenomenon will be achieved: The Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor, and the Power of Context.

Answer:

reword, answer, cite, explain, and summarize

Explanation:

It's a writng strategy, sort of like for a rhetorical analysis essay:

Claim: what is the author of the text saying

Evidence: back it up with quotes/phrases from the text

Analysis: explain the quote and what you think the author's trying to say

For RACES, it'd be:

Restate the question (i think....)

Answer it (I think... because)

cite (from the given passage....)

explain (how does it all fit together? this is one of the most important parts of the strategy)  

summarize (conclusion; not as important)

Hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest if it does!
