Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"It is impossible to say how the idea first entered my head. There was no reason for what I did. I did not hate the old man; I even loved him. He had never hurt me. I did not want his money. I think it was his eye. His eye was like the eye of a vulture, the eye of one of those terrible birds that watch and wait while an animal dies, and then fall upon the dead body and pull it to pieces to eat it. When the old man looked at me with his vulture eye a cold feeling went up and down my back; even my blood became cold. And so, I finally decided I had to kill the old man and close that eye forever!”

The Tell-Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe.

Which use of symbolism in the story most suggests that the narrator feels stressed in this passage?

A. The exclamation points  B. The repetition of the word "eye"  C. The lack of dialogue D. The mention of gold

Answer:

B. The repetition of the word "eye"

Explanation:

The repetition of the word "eye" in this passage shows how disturbed and nervous the character is to the point that he only thinks about it. He does not use the word "eye" to justify the reason for his nervousness and to show that it was because of this nervousness, this tension and this imbalance that the eye caused, that he committed all the crime he did.

In other words, the repetition of the word "eye" in this excerpt refers to the manic state and the character's fixation is the source of all the nervousness he expresses.

Pablo ate one and forty-eight hundredths pounds of bananas. What is the value of the 4 in this number? * 10 points 0.04 pound 40
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Value = 4 * 0.1

Explanation:

Given:

Pounds = one and forty-eight hundredths

Required

Determine the value of 4

First, we convert the given to digits

One and forty-eight hundredths = 1.48

So:

Pounds = 1.48

Split to individual digits:

Pounds = 1 + 0.4 + 0.08

Express as sum of products

Pounds = 1*1 + 4 *0.1 + 8 * 0.01

Hence, the value of 4 is:

Value = 4 * 0.1
