The imagery that Poe uses to help you hear, see, smell, and feel the sensations of being buried alive is like I could feel myself gasping for air as he described this scene to me. I could see myself in the middle of tons of dirt, smelling the dust. I could hear the dirt getting piled on top of me.
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Screech! When a driver pushes on the brake pedal, it initiates a process that causes the vehicle to stop in motion. We literally trust braking systems with our lives every time we get into a vehicle or
cross at a busy intersection. How does this life-critical process work? It begins when the pedal is pushed. At this moment brake fluid is reljased into the braking mechanisms. As the fluid collects, this creates a leverage, which causes a friction to be applied. This friction will create a force that will cause the wheels to stop and allow you to reach your destination safely. Beep! Beep!
What is the main/central idea of the passage?
How a braking system functions on an automobile
Trusting automotive braking systems
Brake fluid being released in the area where the breaking mechanisms are
There is no main/central idea
Answer: How a braking system functions on an automobile
Explanation:
This passage´s main idea is not meant to focus on brake fluids or the trustworthiness of braking systems.
The main idea is how braking systems work as a whole. To do so, the passage describes the process that ensues since pushing on the brake pedal and until the vehicle stops, including the brake fluid being released, creating leverage and friction that make the wheels stop.

Answer:
The highwayman's anger was caused by the discovery of the death of Bess, the girl he loved.
Explanation:
The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman falling in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. But the betrayal of Tim, the ostler, led Bess, the girl to sacrifice her life to save the highwayman from getting killed by the authorities.
The lines <em>"back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky"</em> shows his anger at discovering that Bess had been killed while trying to save him. This was her way of making sure that he did not get captured and then tortured by the authorities, thereby showing her love for him. Thus, <u>the anger in him was a result of knowing Bess, his lover, had died at the hands of the authorities who were waiting for him.</u>
