Read this passage from "The Black Cat":One morning, in cool blood, I slipped a noose about its neck and hung it to the limb of a

tree; hung it with the tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest remorse at my heart; hung it because I knew that it had loved me, and because I felt it had given me no reason of offence; hung it because I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin a deadly sin that would so jeopardize my immortal soul as to place it if such a thing were possible even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.What effect does the narrator create by repeating the phrase "hung it"?A. It encourages the reader to sympathize with the narrator and his emotions.B. It increases the violence of the action and highlights its importance.C. It allows the reader to understand the reason behind the narrator's actions.D. It helps the reader feel sorry for the cat and what it had to endure.

Answer:

B. It increases the violence of the action and highlights its importance.

Explanation:

In this story written by Edgar Allan Poe, one of his darkest and most troubling stories —and when talking about Poe narrative, that is saying a lot— he tells a story of remorse and an unbearable sense of guilt. In the passage above, the word hung, repeated almost to a maniacal degree, exacerbates the senselessness of his action, the violence it implies, and in so doing, it accentuates the relevance of this very action for the development of the story and the sense of guilt that the narrator is experiencing.

"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:

Seventy-five years ago, thousands of Haitians were murdered in the Dominican Republic by a brutal dictator. It was one of the 20th Century's least-remembered acts of genocide.

As many as 20,000 people are thought to have been killed on orders given by Rafael Trujillo. But the "parsley massacre” went mostly unnoticed outside Hispaniola. Even there, many Dominicans never knew about what happened in early October 1937. They were kept in the dark by Trujillo's henchmen.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

At this point I would always ask her why she and my father had returned to live in the country if they knew the dictatorship was so bad. And that's when my mother would tell me how, under pressure from his friends up north, Trujillo pretended to be liberalizing his regime. How he invited all exiles back to form political parties. How he announced that he would not be running in the next elections. My father had returned only to discover that the liberalization was a hoax staged so that the regime could keep the goodwill and dollars of the United States.

My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.

Answer:

C. The passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of Trujillo’s deceit.

Explanation:

The excerpts in ''Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre'' and in "A Genetics of Justice” we can see that they are showing that Trujillo's fraud and deceit was very unknown for other people.

In the first excerpt Mark Memmot is talking about massacre which was a genocide also unknown by many of them.

In the second excerpt Julia Alvarez is talking about lies that her parents did hear and they return under wrong expectation because of that.
