Answer:

The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” while the sound of the crying cat in “The Black Cat” does not.

Explanation:

In the story "The Tell-Tale Heart," we learn that the narrator of the story is tormented by the sound of a beating heart. This is the heart of a man he killed, and the reader knows that the heart cannot logically be beating. Therefore, the heart is only a symbol of the man's insanity. On the other hand, the crying cat in "The Black Cat" is a real sound that the man is not imagining, and therefore, is not a consequence of his madness.

I believe that your answer is the first option due to how late the crying is, and unlike in "The Tell-Tale Heart" where the heart is constant and represents the slow descent of madness, the cry of the cat only appears at the end.

The portion of the story where it shows the speaker's madness is actually his looking for and finding similarities in the second cat and wishing to kill it.

Hope this was helpful.

~ANSWER ASAP BEST ANSWER WILL GET BRAINLIEST~
Rasek [7]
Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.I hope this helps!
