Answer:

"This dark assertion will be illuminated later on" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Gift of the Magi is a short story written by O. Henry, first published in 1905. It's the story of a couple that deals with their economic situation and their struggles to buy each others Christmas gifts.

In the answer, the speaker uses a future tense, used to express actions in the future, and it has three auxiliaries, may, won't, and will. May expresses uncertainty; won't indicates negative actions, and will expresses certainty in the future, so it is the correct answer.

Which of the following could be used to slow the pace of a story?
OleMash [197]
I believe that flashbacks could be used to slow the pace of a story. If you are telling one story, and then decide to introduce a flashback, that would only slow down the story you are already telling.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Epidemic.

Explanation:

<u>Pestilence is a fatal disease or infliction that is suffered in a large part of the land. </u>It is a type of plague that hurts, damaged, and even kills a large number of people.

In the given lines from scene I of Oedipus, The King, we see the people Thebes suffering a great pestilence which has wreaked havoc among them.

Thus, the <u>word "pestilence" means an epidemic that the gods had inflicted upon the people of Thebes. </u>
