Which theme is conveyed in this excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe? TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervo

us I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. The insane have no sense of time. The insane are obsessed with mortality. The insane are incapable of using deception. The insane lack imagination. The insane live in a reality of their own.

I would say the correct answer is that the insane live in a reality of their own.
The protagonist of the story wasn't always insane; however, over time, he grew mad because of his landlord's eye of a vulture. He began seeing things, thinking that the eye made him do crazy things, such as kill the old man. After that, this mad man kept hearing the dead man's heart beating, which is how he revealed his crime to the policemen who came to the house to investigate.

What is the tense of the underlined verb in the sentence?
Nat2105 [25]
<span>a. past perfect 

</span><span>The tense of the underlined verb in the sentence: We had just begun to practice the skit when the fire alarm rang is past perfect. Notice the conditioning word “when” which dictates the sentence to be in the past perfect state in its action verb. Hence, “had” is added next to the past participle of the sentence. For example, the boy had played when suddenly his mom came. </span>
