Answer and Explanation:

1. The ending of "Young Goodman Brown" depicts the despair and melancholy that occurs when a Christian loses his faith and all his certainties are erased from his heart. Thus, he can no longer find peace in the society he sees as corrupted, in family members, in religion and in any other element around him.

2. When the author uses the expression "his dying hour was his gloom" he uses the melancholy, cynicism and extreme mistrust that Goodman presented before his death as a basis, which indicated to society that he was not one of the elected of God and died with that feeling of sadness that accompanied him to death and that he should not be part of an elected Christian.

3. The author's purpose was to show the ambiguity of Puritanism and Transcendentalism in New England, questioning the position of Puritans in situations where they are very controversial, situations that include sin, shame, judgment and murders.

4. In their stories Hawthorne shows how religions are created to bring us closer to God, but members of religions establish doctrines and dogmas that are controversial and put people's faith to the test, especially in relation to religion. In "Young Goodman Brown" he questions the sanctity of Puritan Christians amid the murders of people who were considered witches. This questioning is related to doubts about human goodness and salvation.

So fierce you whirr and pound you drums—so shrill you bugles blow. What literary device does the poet use in the line in bold? A
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Imagery.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's poem "Beat! Beat! Drums!," the poet seems to be exhorting the drums and bugles to play as loudly and fiercely as they can, and one can almost visualize them and hear them. This use of vivid language is called imagery, and is meant to appeal to our senses and emotions. Whitman wrote this poem as a call to arms, hence the use of this figurative and expressive language.

Which quotation from the passage encompasses the climax of the story?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) “‘Oh, very badly!’ said she. ‘I have scarcely closed my eyes all night.’”

The quotation from the passage that encompasses the climax of the story is "‘Oh, very badly!’ said she. ‘I have scarcely closed my eyes all night.’”

We are talking about an excerpt from the story "The Princess and The Pea," written by Hans Christian Andersen. The author writes it in the following way: "On this, the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly!” said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard so that I am black and blue all over my body. It’s horrible!”

"The Princess and The Pea," is a tale published in 1835. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a talented writer that also produced great tales such as "The Little Mermaid."
