Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The Man and the Snake is a short story written by Ambrose Bierce. The story is about the death of Harker Brayton, who died out of 'fear of fits' by the presence of a toy snake in his bedroom.

The story begins with Brayton reading a newspaper article from 'Marvell's of Science.' The article talked about the quality of snakes that can lead a person to death without snake biting him or her.  The quote in the first paragraph from the magazine suggested that a man can die merely by looking intently into the eyes of the snake.

This quote foreshadows the presence of a snake in Brayton's room and his ultimate death by gazing into the snake's eyes and die out of fright. The quote established a persuasive power which led Brayton to fearful fits.

Thus the correct answer is option C.

Which sentence correctly uses a nominative case pronoun?
mezya [45]
<span>The correct answer is B. Ralph and them are waiting for us at the metro station. It is a nominative case pronoun because them is here used as a subject, that is, the doer of the action, so it is nominative. The rest are either objective case or dative because the forms are things like him instead of he which answers the question of to whom instead of who.</span>
