The correct answers are:

1) C. as a new place of his dreams

Paul is a nonconformist boy who feels that living in Cordelia´s street is almost unbearable for him. Working at Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh as an usher, he feels happy and free to be the person he really wanted to be. He really admires the theatre company’s members as he desires to lead their life. For this reason, he decides to go to a New York to have a different but a long-awaited life style.

According to this excerpt, In the author description of Paul´s perception of the city, it is possible to recognize Paul´s is amazement of each corner of the city. He believes that NY is the perfect city of his dreams and that everybody is happy to live there.

2) c. simile  

Simile is a literary device which consist of a comparison between two or more things through the use of the words "like" or "as".

In this particular fragment, Willa Cather makes a comparison between the exciting feeling of happiness and realization Paul experiences and the falling of snowflakes which whirl in the air.

3) Lines 22-23 offers example of Simile as it was stated in the previous question.

4) a. He is imaginative.  

Paul lives in an idealistic word where he can be a different person from he really is. He wants to lead the life of famous people as he thinks their life are prefect in contrast to his experiences at school or at home. He believes that he has changed his life just by staying in an expensive hotel and buying fine clothes, but it is just a temporary and absurd solution to his problem.

She did not leave the door shut.(affirmative)​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:She left the door shut ( if you still need it)

Explanation:

The sentence which speaks about the noun which is only positive.

The negative sentence is not applicable to indicate this type of sentences.

For example, the new born baby isn’t a girl, when the actual meaning of the sentence is the new born baby is a boy.

These types of sentences describe about the subjects whom has an active action to do and they give the positive approach about the noun present in the sentence and which is in motion.

How does the author of the text use foreshadowing to create suspense in “the tell-tale heart”? Support your answer with two piec
NISA [10]

Answer:

Throughout the story, Poe is careful about how he portrays his words. The way he does portray them creates a sense of suspense that makes you feel as if you are observing the whole event, frame by frame.

In this story, Poe states “For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime, I did not hear him lie down” (63). In this example, his words are described in such vivid detail that you picture this scene perfectly. Another example includes when Poe uses such phrases as, “It was open-wide, wide open-and I grew furious as I gazed upon it” (63).

The use of repetition in the first-person point of view helps to stir some emotions of the unknown. It creates the suspense of not knowing what will happen next. By using the first-person point of view, Poe was able to show how the narrator feels.

An example of this is when the narrator uses the phrases at the beginning to question his existence. The narrator wanted to know if he was mad, or not.

Phrases such as “I heard all things in the heaven and in earth” (62), tells the reader that the narrator indeed is mad, yet the narrator thinks himself not. In the following statement, “If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body” (64).
