topjm [15]3 years ago

In "The Pit and the Pendulum," the narrator finds himself tied down flat, with a sharp pendulum slowly swinging downwards towards him.

He finds that he is unable to untie himself.

Earlier, he was given food, containing meat, and that food is within his reach, though he is tied down. 

He finds rats are in the cell with him, so he devises a plan.

He takes the meat from his dish and rubs it all over the ropes tying him down. The rats then jump up onto him and begin gnawing on the ropes. Eventually, he is able to split the chewed ropes and free himself.

Where may a food worker on break drink from an uncovered cup? O a. In the kitchen O b. In the deli area O c. In the buffet area
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The food worker on break may drink from an uncovered cup in the kitchen.

Explanation:

To begin with, the people who come to dine in wouldn't be exactly happy to witness the food worker to drink water in the deli area or the buffet area or in the dining room. Those would be the places where the water would be served or placed for the people who come to eat. It is a safe mannerism if the food worker drinks water from the kitchen as it is more appropriate and right thing to do. As basic rules, a dining place would know how to keep the place hygienic and clean and kitchen would be the place where the uncovered cup would be kept clean, especially for the workers' sake.
