Well, just the fact that the characters are all dressed up for a masquerade party, already adds to the eerie mood. But what really seals the coffin is when Montressor lures Fortunato into the catacombs, and then ties him up. You really get the whole creepo-vibe, when Montressor starts to seal up the "tomb". Hope this helps you a lot.

Answer:

Explanation:

The setting of a story consists of time frame in which the story takes place. It is pure irony that this story is happening in a Carnival, a cheerful, celebratory time of the year in Italy. The location of the carnival season is portrayed as a disordered, confused atmosphere which also associates with the main characters’ complex relationship. As the characters travel through the streets of the carnival to the all-time low of Montresor’s underground cemetery, the atmosphere of the story becomes more gloomy and threatening. It is ironic that the brightly clothed Fortunato is taken from the celebrations, their journey beneath the palazzo also emblematically represents Montresor’s descent into darkness and shove into the darkness of Montresor’s domes to meet his death.  The poor quality of the air, which can hardly even keep a torch’s flame burning; this foretells Fortunato’s death as a dying flame. This concealed location is picture-perfect setting for a manslaughter.

I had to look for the missing passage and the options and here is the answer:"Here is New York" is a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell. And based on the passage taken from this book, the effect that the symbol has on the meaning on this passage is this: The commuter is the queerest bird of all. The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own and is a mere roost where he comes at day’s end to go to sleep. (This answer is based on the actual options attached to this question).

Answer:

Julia was proud to share her mothers name

Explanation:

The central idea is the central, unifying element of the story, which ties together all of the other elements of fiction used by the author to tell the story. The central idea can be best described as the dominant impression or the universal, generic truth found in the story. Therefore that is why that is the central idea
