Poe uses his words economically in the “Tell-Tale Heart”—it is one of his shortest stories—to provide a study of paranoia and mental deterioration.

Answer:
Security seems to indicate a state or a feeling of absence of danger now and in the future, for oneself and one's own property and for one they have responsibility for, or have compassion for. In other words, it is being aware that a certain action will not cause future harm. The assumption of knowledge is fundamental from an epistemological point of view, since a system can evolve without giving rise to unwanted states, but it cannot be considered safe for this. Only scientific knowledge, therefore based on repeatable observations, can guarantee a sensible security assessment.
Total security is obtained in the absence of dangers. In an absolute sense, this is a concept that is difficult to translate into real life even if the application of security regulations makes the occurrence of harmful events and accidents more difficult and always translates into a better quality of life.
Answer:
a. Allusion.
Explanation:
Allusions are the use of literary device that uses an indirect way of addressing an issue without the use of any direct reference. Martin Luther King in his now famous speech "I Have A Dream" talks of many allusions. One of these allusions is the excerpt provided in the question -
<em>"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation."
</em>
alludes to the Emancipation proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Saluting the effort of the then President, King alludes to the time when all slaves were freed by this. He also promises to continue to work for the same issue that President Lincoln had done.
D.) On sunny days, the majestic mountain looks as if you can reach out and touch its snowy surface.
