Answer and Explanation:
The paragraph to which this question refers is the following:
<em>He admitted, however, although with hesitation, that much of the peculiar gloom which thus afflicted him could be traced to a more natural and far more palpable origin—to the severe and long-continued illness—indeed to the evidently approaching dissolution—of a tenderly beloved sister, his sole companion for long years, his last and only relative on earth...</em>
<u>Even though what we have here is indirect speech - the narrator retelling Usher's words -, the author made sure to represent the way in which Usher himself was speaking. He was telling the narrator about his mental state and about a condition he believes he possesses (extreme sensory acuteness, according to him). </u><u>However, once Usher begins to reveal that this condition of his is related to his sister's disease and death, he seems to go out of breath. He interrupts himself, adding details in a hurried way, which is represented by the phrases enclosed by the dashes. Therefore, we can say the author structures these sentence in this way to show Usher's shortness of breath and rushed speech.</u>
Answer:
The Allies wanted to ensure that Germany would never again pose a threat to other countries in Europe.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles was drawn up after World War I, whereby the nation of Germany was made to pay remunerations to those nations affected by the war. This peace treaty was done between Germany and the Allied nations mainly consisting of the UK, France, Italy, and the United States.
The meeting that was convened at Versailles was attended by nearly 30 nations. But the provisions of the treaty were mainly drawn by the four nations or the Allied nations. This was done to punish Germany for initiating the war and also hold the nation accountable. But overall, the <u>main reason was to strip Germany so much so that it would not pose any threat to other European countries again in the future</u>. Though Germany wasn't involved in the decision-making, it had no choice but to accept the terms of the treaty. Thus, the <u>Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.

Answer:
The time my best friend <u>lied</u> to me.
Explanation:
This was long ago before anything happend to the world. It was just a normal school day. I had math, history, and science before lunch and recess. The day was going great before my best friend asked me if he could go to my house later today so we could hang out. I of course said "yes" But I wish I have never had.
After the school day was over, I came home to ask my mom if My friend could come over? She said, "yes, just make sure he cleans up after himself." I was so happy! After my mom picked him up, we played for hours upon hours, until he was hungry, (and so was I) so I asked my mom if we could have something to eat? she gave us some yogurt to munch on. We sat down in my living room, talking about the school day, and what we got for homework. Then he said " I'm feeling tired, and sick. Could you go get me some water?" I said "Ok!" I jumped up and went to go get my mom. I asked her what I should give him to help with his stomach. She got some medicine for him. After we got it, we went to go give it to him, when he was jumping around, playing with my cats! He then saw us and proceeded to act like he was still sick. After that point, he became my worst enemy.
P.S This was like 4-5 years ago. Everything happened when we were kids.
