Answer:

B. He tried everything to keep the shelter open—he even begged his friends for support.

Explanation:

Dashes can be used to introduce a pause, an explanation or an interruption in a sentence, and are more informal than using parenthesis. In that respect, the dash in the sentence given precedes a clarification of the first clause. Thus, it demonstrates evidence of how the person tried to keep the shelter open.

The rest of the options contain incorrect uses of dashes, since they cannot separate clauses in conditional sentences or replace commas setting items apart in a list.

What are some examples of direct and indirect characterization in “the cast of amontillado”
Novosadov [1.4K]

The direct characters in The Cask of Amontillado are Montresor (the first-person narrator) and the ironically-named Fortunato, his inadvertent enemy. No one else appears in the story, but reference is made to several indirect characters.Luchesi is a man known to both Montresor and Fortunato. He has a reputation as a connoisseur of wine and is therefore a rival to Fortunato in this respect. Fortunato contemptuously dismisses his expertise, but this may be mere bravado. Montresor uses repeated references to Luchesi as a form of reverse psychology to lure Fortunato into the vaultMontresor's disobedient servants are also mentioned. We do not know how many there are, but the fact that he has several makes us question his claim to be a ruined man. He has expressly told them to stay in the house and is cynically certain that this is the way to ensure their departureLady Fortunato is mentioned by her unfortunate husband. She will be waiting, in company, at the palazzo.
