Answer:

A. Stated

Explanation:

Central idea of ​​a text is the main information that the text wants to pass. The central idea is stated when the text makes it clear what the topic is being talked about at the moment, so the central idea is easily identified. On the other hand, the implied central idea is when the text does not make clear which theme is addressed, making it difficult for the reader to understand which is the central idea of ​​the text and which are the secondary ideas.

The excerpt above makes it clear that the central idea of ​​the text is the advantageous purchase made by the United States for Alaska, even in the face of public disapproval.

why do you think certain countries favored military solutions to the great depression while other countries did not
hoa [83]

Germany and Japan favored military solutions more than the United States did. I think the militaristic nations felt they had more to prove on the world stage. For Germans, rearmament became a point of national pride. For the Japanese, imperialism played a similar role. By contrast, Americans entered World War I reluctantly, and they remained reluctant to enter World War II until the bombing of Pearl Harbor left them with few alternatives.

Poe often drew inspiration for his tales from the real world. Compare the details of "The Story Behind ‘The Cask of Amontillado'
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Considering the real life story "The Story Behind the Cask of Amontillado" and Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" bear striking similarities.

In the real life version, a spiteful army Captain kills a young Lieutenant. The pals of the latter sells him  drinks and take him to a dungeon where they bind him and seal him up inside alive. No one figured out the enigma behind his vanishing and his body wasn't found till years later.

Poe uses this real life story to create a fiendish portrait of a man who is willing to go to the same length to seek revenge. Poe's protagonist uses the same method to kill his enemy and is never caught either.

Differences:

In the real life version, the soldiers are hot headed young men who want to take vengeance for their friend's untimely death. In Poe's story, however, Montresor is a cold-blooded killer who enjoys executing every moment of his sinister plan. Also, his victim's crime was merely insulting him on some occasion.
