A. Readers gain insight into the narrator's belief that he is possessed by a demon.
This is the best option because the passage describes how he believes he has been possessed by a demon. From this passage, we don't actually know what happens once he is possessed. Option B says that it gives a reason for the narrator's behavior, but we don't know what that behavior is to make this a correct choice. Option C is wrong because first person invites us in to the narrator's mind. It doesn't not keep us at a distance. Option D is also not correct because we don't know anything about his treatment of a cat from this passage.
The answer Is option B because it best paraphrases the article.
"We had passed through long walls of piled skeletons, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses of the catacombs."
"We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones."
These are some sentences that give us the creepy setting that makes for an eerie mood.
Answer:
The two elements that contribute to the tone of every speech are reason and emotion.
Explanation:
Whatever emotion you feel in the speech, should also be felt by the audience. So if your speech is serious, your audience should be serious. A consistent tone allows the audience to focus and for the speaker to effectively get their point across.
