The right answer is letter b: <em>the houses in both passages are described as having an air of rot, gloom and loneliness</em>.
Poe's character describes Mr. Roderick Usher's house as one he cannot help to consider a "melancholy view" where "there was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart" . Said house caused an "insufferable gloom" in the observer's spirit.
In a similar thread of thought, Bierce's tale about the Manton house describes its looks as sufficient to affirm it is<em> "haunted"</em>. He describes the house as <em>"slowly falling into decay"</em> as <em>"cobwebs weave in the angles of the walls like strips of rotting lace..."</em> all while standing <em>"a little way off the loneliest reach of the Marshall and Harriston road". </em>
He dosen't, thats all he does.
The third. The words hound, grouse, poplar and stand are all nouns.
The answer is C. Weedon always makes sure White Fang is fed
Weedon offers White Fang meat when they are introduced. Although White Fang does not take the meat directly from Weedon's hand at first. He eventually starts to eat out of his hand and their bond strengthened. So the answer is C.
Hope this helped. Have a great day!
C.) Both inform the reader that Faryad and Liaqat were not given the chance to tell their version of events at the police station.
In the frames, both Faryad and Liaqat put their fingerprint on a piece of paper when they are at the police station. However, neither of them are given a chance to tell their story. In Faryad's case, "the police write down what they claim has happened". The testimony in the report is not Faryad's. In Liaqat's case, after he put his fingerprint on the paper, he was told to leave and not given any interview.
Option D is incorrect because the reader is not the one responsible for investigating what Faryad and Liaqat were prevented from saying. It does make the reader curious and interested, but the reader can't do the investigation. Option B is wrong because there is no miscommunication. Option A is wrong because there is no proof or even mention of a death in either the frames or the excerpt.
