Excerpt: "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill some one else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches--conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalmlike note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes, which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

Explanation: In this excerpt there are a couple of sentences that are considering sarcasm in them. Those are:

"No, you didn't expect him to get killed."

"You just expected him to kill someone else.."

"they weren't there because they had any say about it.."

''you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."

They are having sarcastic tone in them because the man is saying those words in a sarcastic way because they are something that the other person know but he was acting like he didn't. That is why he is saying ''No, you didn't expect'' or ''You thought..''

In the excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado", which of the following is not an example of foreshadowing?
anygoal [31]

Answer: Sanger Rainsford with the love of hunting, used to chasing wild diversion. By the time he was stranded in Zaroff's island, he stops to be a hunter and turns into the hunted. This change everything that Rainsford knew before. He couldn't believe that he will become a prey his entire life. Rainsford swings to his own particular chasing abilities as ingrained instincts. He starts to acquire gratefulness for the equivocation of the creatures he hunted, and what the hunt is about from both viewpoints. Particularly when he begins turning the tables on General Zaroff. At the point when Rainsford, in the end, wins the "diversion," he is just about finished with "amusement" chasing.
