Answer:

This lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" provides an insight into narrator's mercilessness. Fortunato's last and soft cry of fear made Montresor's heart grow sick. Narrator's ascribing this sickness to cold weather shows that he is a biased narrator.

Explanation:

The narrator of the story "The Cask of Amontillado" speaks in first person. Since he is justifying his act of murdering one of the fellow men, his viewpoint is unbalanced. The view point is also partial because we know almost nothing about Fortunato (the antagonist - about to be murdered).

Almost all the narrative of the story is full of mercilessness, here is another example,

<em>"I continued working. I could hear him pulling at the chain, shaking  it wildly. Only a few stones remained to put in their place.  “Montresor! Ha-ha. This is a very good joke, indeed"</em>

This partial and unbalanced view point creates suspense in reader to know what would happen next.

jonny [76]

Answer:

D is the answer.

Explanation:

"The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln was all about encouraging the soldiers to preserve the Union in the Civil War and to continue to fight for the ideas they gave their lives for. A, B, and C are unrelated to the purpose of the Gettysburg Address.

I'm not sure where the "bold line" is located since you made the whole text bold, but I can tell by looking at the entire speech and at the answer choices that D is the most accurate of them all.

A is incorrect since Lincoln is conveying that the battle is crucial for soldiers to preserve the Union and maintain the relationship between the North and the South. B is also incorrect since this speech is not about rebelling against the government in any way; it is for the equality of the people since Lincoln wanted to maintain peace among them. So, that's not part of our answer, either. Lastly, C is also incorrect, since the Civil War was not the last resort. He gave this speech during the Civil War, so how is that the last resort? Instead, he acknowledged the people that sacrificed their lives for the Civil War and promoting the soldiers to persist throughout the war.

Therefore, D is the most accurate answer to the summary of Lincoln's speech, the Gettysburg Address.

I hope this helped!
