6 0

Answer:

B. Fear can shape how we see things and how we act.

Explanation:

The short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe revolves around the narrator trying to convince the readers of his sanity by narrating how and why he murdered the old man.

The narrator began to reveal why the hate for the man's blue eye led to his gruesome act of murder. He also reveals he could hear the old man's heartbeat on the eighth night that he decided to act swiftly in the killing. He mentioned how the old man comforted himself by attributing the fear in his heart to be the noise made by the wind, mouse, or even cricket. The narrator/ murderer also revealed how his own fear led to the swift action of killing the old man,<em> "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Please help me I need a body paragraph 1 for the article teens are going to extremes with texting I NEED A PARAGRAPH ​
Ksju [112]

Answer: (Copied this off a website.. Hope this helps, thought :D

Explanation: The national obsession with instantaneous communication is taking a toll on teens so severe that some experts are calling it a crisis.

It's not the phenomenon of cell-phoning or messaging while driving -- both are illegal in

New Jersey

-- but all-night texting that is leaving too many teens too tired for school.

One 14-year-old New Jerseyan featured in a recent Star-Ledger story receives up to 10,000 -- 10,000! -- text messages a month. To accomplish that astounding yet not unusual feat, she interrupts her showers and stays up all night long, thumbs pumping, to read and respond to an avalanche of messages. Doctors are beginning to recognize such obsession as addiction that is robbing children of sleep at the very time in their life when they need it the most.

A well-publicized study recently found that early high school start times deprive adolescents of sleep and force students to perform academically in the early morning, a time of day when they are at their worst. Many teens are making a tough situation worse by shortchanging themselves of the time they do have to sleep. The inevitable results are poor performance, a sort of sleepwalking through classes and the day in a fog that some physicians liken to drunkenness.

According to a recent Nielsen study, 13- to 17-year-olds send or receive an average of 1,742 text messages a month -- more than seven times the average number of calls they place on their cell phones. That represents huge chunks of time dedicated to the flimsiest of patter. Here, truly, the medium is the message, and teens are loath to part with a gadget which to them seems as natural as breathing.

It's a situation made all the more challenging by the fact that these kids are among the first to have this amazing, and tempting, technology right at their fingertips; it's not likely they will set limits for themselves. They depend on their parents for rules and guidelines in all other areas of life, so it's naive to believe they will cut down on texting without some intervention.

great many adults also are addicted to devices of the new technology. In fact, there's a "Distracted Driving Summit" taking place in Washington, D.C., in which federal officials are urging the public not to text and drive in those states that haven't outlawed it. And a rehab center for the technologically dependent just opened in

state. For $14,000, clients are helped to wean themselves from obsessive use of video games, etc..

The answer to the first question is that Dravot and Carnehan change their appearances by getting rid of their beards and changing up their hairstyles.

For your second question, the narrator's descriptions of his job and newspapers office compare to the adventures of Dravot and Carnehan because of the way they're both told with passion.

Thirdly, peace was brougtht to the people of Kafiristan thanks to these men who fought their battles. The natives needed guidance which for Dravot and Carnehan was extremely convinient considering they wanted to be kings.

In regards to question number 4, the narrator asks many questions and goes through process of reunited with Peachey and getting sidetracked by his scars instead of focusing on him. The passage of time relates back to the plot because the two men built a relationship with the journalist

And lastly, Dravot and Carnehan greatly help people in the region by building up their new tech. This made the people of the region very appreciative of their contribution. Compared to the British empire they helped build an army which was very helpful.


I hope this helps! If you could please help me out by rating it brainliest I'd highly appreciate it :)
