Answer:

C. The wild parties, masks, and hidden faces create a mood of secrecy and unease.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story that revolves around the revenge plan of Montresor on his friend Fortunato. The story ends with the successful 'killing/punishment' of Fortunato after he gets walled-in by Montresor.

The scene takes place during a wild carnival night which adds to the irony of the whole story. Yet, it also adds to the secretive nature of the plan, the 'other side' of how Montresor presents himself to be. While on the one hand, the carnival represents the festive and merry mood of the scene, it also acts as a foil and occasion for Montresor to successfully lure Fortunato into his trap- that of inviting him to taste-test his acquired wine. Montresor admits that despite his plans of hurting his friend, he "was so pleased to see him" when he approached him.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

In the speech, Obama talked about how politics factor into our discussions of race. What did he say? How do we fix the problem

Tju [1.3M]

Former President Barack Obama on Friday launched a direct and blistering attack on President Donald Trump and Republicans and called on Americans to get to the ballot box in November to "restore some semblance of sanity to our politics."

At one point referencing the "crazy stuff coming out of this White House," Obama told students and others gathered at the University of Illinois at Urban-Campaign that even if they don't agree with Democrats on certain issues, they should still want to see a "restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in government."

So I want to be clear. I did not take sides in that late-night food debate. The truth is,
