Answer:

The answer is Option B: "The narrator declares that he will die but the reader does not know why."

Explanation:

In the passage from "The Black Cat," Edgar Allan Poe claims that he will die tomorrow and he needs to unburden his soul regarding some regular household events that are terrifying to him. He says the event is unbelievable but that he is not crazy. He states there may be someone else who can explain what happened more calmly and concretely so that it might not seem to wild and dream-like as he feels it is. The author is about to start telling us about what happened that led to his death, or at least that is what is implied in this passage.

Answer:

I would say the correct answer is B. The narrator declares that he will die but the reader does not know why.

Explanation:

The information that he is going to die the following day is the only fact we are given in this passage. The rest is the narrator's distressed mood as a backdrop for the story he is about to tell. But at this point, we still know nothing about what happened. From the moment he says he's going to die, the suspense begins. Why will he die? What did he do? Was he wrongly convicted? Or maybe he really committed a serious crime and deserves to die? Those are the questions that pop up in a reader's mind due to the suspense created.

B) Isn't correct because he doesn't admit to making up anything. On the contrary, he claims that the story really happened, however unbelieavable it may sound. He doesn't even expect us to believe him. The only thing he wants is to "unburthen his soul".

Here's why C) isn't correct. Sure, he allows us to observe him as an unreliable narrator - a storyteller whom we can't trust without reservation because he is either distressed or mad or biased. But he never says he's crazy. On the contrary - "Mad am I not", even though he admits that many people will think him mad after hearing his story.

Finally, D) isn't correct because he doesn't mention any crimes in this passage. We assume that he commited a crime and is now imprisoned and awaiting death sentence because of it, but it's only an assumption. We still have no other facts to work with. And he doesn't mention having been the direct victim, even though he's been "terrified - tortured - destroyed" by those events.

Blababa [14]

5. In many countries of the world, labor formed its own party. These types of parties stood to represent the workers' rights in the society. They fought to give the laborers what they needed to successfully do their jobs in good conditions.
9. Both workers and the work they do can be called labor. This noun can represent both the employee who works in a particular location, and the work that he or she is doing. It is interchangeable, meaning that it can represent both of those ideas.

1. In which sentence is the underlined adjectival clause punctuated correctly? A. Mrs. Cruz is the advisor, whose opinion matter

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Adjectival clauses also known as relative clauses are dependent clauses that describe a noun in sentences.

Punctuating adjectival clauses can be very problematic because you would have to say whether the adjectival clause in a sentence is essential or non-essential before using commas.

Essential Clause: This kind of adjectival clause is essential to the description of the noun. It is such that the sentence would be meaningless if it were taken out. E.g

The man whose house we just left loves you.

"whose house we just left" is an essential clause because there are many men in the world and without the clause we would not know the man that is being referred to.

Nonessential Clause: This is the opposite of essential clause. It is the kind of clause that a sentence can very much do without. E.g

His wife, who you have met, works at Microsoft.

"Who you have met" does not define the noun in the sentence and the sentence is still very much valid and understandable without the adjectival clause.

The rule is that, sentences with essential adjectival clauses are not punctuated while those with non-essential adjectival clauses are punctuated. As you can see in the examples above.

But with sentences that carry proper nouns e.g names of persons and places, commas are always used before their adjectival clauses because they are unique and do not necessarily need any more information.

That is why option A is the correctly punctuated sentence.

And option C is okay and doesn't need any punctuation.

Genies case illustrates that the brain has critical periods of development and if these periods are missed the individual is unl

Goryan [66]

Genie was born in 1957 in North America in Arcadia, California. She was a feral child who was a victim of severe abuse, neglect, and social isolation. Her circumstances are prominently recorded in the linguistics and abnormal child psychology association. When she was a baby, her father determined that she had a severe intellectual disability, a view which intensified as she got older, causing him to dislike her and refuse care and attention. At approximately the time she reached the age of 20 months, he decided to keep her as socially isolated as possible, so he kept her locked alone in a room from that time until she reached the age of 13 years and 7 months. During this time, he almost always kept her strapped to a child's toilet or bound her in a crib with her arms and legs completely immobilized, prohibited anyone from interacting with her, provided her with almost no stimulation of any kind, and left her severely famished. The extent of her isolation prevented her from being exposed to any significant amount of speech, and she did not acquire language during her childhood as a result. Her abuse came to the attention of Los Angeles child welfare authorities on November 4, 1970.

This case is the clear proof that the brain needs specific kinds of interactions to learn the social processes required to normally operate in common social environments. We are imitation animal; it is impossible to learn to behave in such a way that we are not exposed to. Ant that is just in regards to conduct, but when it comes to motor-operational functions the situations is as important. If the brain does not learn to control the nerves, muscles, tendons, etc to move normally at an early age, one risks the chance of being impaired for the rest of the life.
