In "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, the beating heart the narrator heard symbolizes, at least in my opinion, the narrator's guilt. 
He killed a man, and he kept hearing his beating heart, even though it was impossible. He kept hearing it because he felt guilty because he murdered a person, and he had to come clean to the police officers in some way. If he hadn't, he would go completely mad, and his crime would go unpunished, probably.

I'm not sure the word for it, but I'd say it symbolizes the truth to a game the narrator was trying to play. When he was trying to lie and make sure that no one knew about the body under the floor, he almost succeeded in doing so, until he thought he heard the man's hear beating from under the floor. Hearing the sound of a beating heart in his ears made him go insane until he finally just confessed about the body under the floor. 
I hope my answer kind of helped you.

How does Lincoln most closely end the Second Inaugural Address, as noted in the section below?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) With a request to the nation to focus on healing.

Explanation:

Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is usually described as a speech advocating for the reconstruction of the United States once the Civil War was over. At the time, many were the critics who saw the president as too lenient in his treatment of the southern states. But Lincoln wanted to show "malice toward none" and "charity for all". He wanted the country to heal from the sickness of that war, which he claimed to be a divine punishment that had fallen upon them for the sin of slavery. If in order to heal he had to be lenient, then lenient he would be. In the passage provided, Lincoln makes it clear it is his intention to take care of all who were affected by the war - thus, it doesn't matter if it is the North or the South. He also states that  justice and peace must be the goal. Taking all that into consideration, I believe the best option to be letter D) With a request to the nation to focus on healing.
