I'd say it's one. Process of elimination can help you here:

There is no mention of how long the storm lasts, or anything comparing it to an object: the description references only events. Similarly, there's no mention of another storm or any address to the reader, leaving one as the best answer.


Further, phrases calling out the intensity of the lightning and saying that "the world was coming to an end" are meant to evoke fear-the end of the world is an inherently scary thing.

5. Select the correct inference of the given passage from “The Cask of Amontillado.”
Bumek [7]

b. Fortunato has never been found.

The key sentence for the answer is "For half of a century no mortal has disturbed them." Half a century is fifty years. We know that Montressor built the wall that night and walled in Fortunato. This eliminates A. Also, C is just wrong since he entombed Fortunato, not the old bones. Option D is also wrong since Fortunato is dead - he's not sleeping. The statement "no mortal has disturbed them" best indicates that Fortunato has never been found.

sesenic [268]
This form of persuasion is ethos. The author is using a credible source, a teacher, to prove that the activity will help students learn. It's important here that her mom is a teacher, if she wasn't, her mom might not be a credible source.

Why should historians avoid oversymplfying
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct option is "A- Oversimplifications often ignore complex or condradictory evidence."

Historical sources constitute the raw material of History. They include all the documents, testimonies or objects that transmit us significant information regarding the events that have taken place, especially in the past. Within them, and considering the value that others also have, the written sources are the basic support to build history.

The historian works historical sources ("interrogates and contrasts") to obtain as much information from them as possible. It must also attend to its variety, making an adequate selection of them. In a general sense, historical sources are of two types: primary and secondary.
