Answer:
D: he is brave
Explanation:
The excerpt is from "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. The story depicts the "The Red Death", a lethal disease that plagues Prince Prospero's kingdom. Throughout the text, Prince Prospero is depicted as an arrogant, selfish, dauntless and fearless man who only cares about protecting himself and the elites of his kingdom.
<em>"The Red Death, a bloody disease that kills a man rapidly with a seizure and bleeding from the pores, is terrorizing the country. </em><em>But Prince Prospero is unaffected. </em><em>Though his people are dying by the hour, he gathers his friends and his knights and shuts himself away in an ornate abbey, which he designed himself. "</em>
In the current excerpt, the words,<em> "Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice." and "He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapid impetuosity, to within three of four feet of the retreating figure." </em>convey that although Prince Prospero's authority and determination have been severely challenged by the Red Death, he willfully draws a dagger and decides to confront the figure.
The correct answer is Harriet Tubman
Answer: Hi there! I think your answer would be B (t establishes Nsue’s apprehension of participating in the Festival of the New Moon).
Explanation: To figure out why B is correct, let's use context clues to disqualify all our other options.
A is not correct: the narrator describes the kudu as a great animal, so it's unlikely that Nsue would be <em>disappointed</em> in bringing it back.
C is not correct: there is <em>nothing</em> in the paragraph about storytelling!
D is not correct either: Nsue is <em>not</em> motivated to hunt an animal for the feast, as he has "no heart for killing" and doesn't move to kill the kudu.
B is the only correct option, as apprehension is the best way to describe his lack of motivation to kill the kudu on his hunt.
I hope this helps you out! Have a good one! :)
