Answer:

'It reflects Madeline's condition soon after the narrator's arrival.'

Explanation:

The given quote 'succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer' has been taken from 'The Fall of the House of Usher' authored by Edgar Allan Poe. It connotes the change in Madeline's condition after the narrator's advent. After seeing narrator, her condition deteriorated as she was not able to withstand her affliction and indisposition and perished(as reflected through the quote 'succumbed to the prostrating power').

In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The bushes are dancing because:

4. The birds are hopping around in the branches.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here clearly states that it is because of the birds that the bushes seem to be dancing:

<em>[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.</em>

<em>[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.</em>

The birds are hopping, stretching their wings, puffing out their chests, all the while making the bushes' branches sway. Why does the author use the word "dancing" to describe the movement of the branches, then? This is a technique called personification. Bushes cannot dance but, by saying so, the author conveys the idea that the way the bushes are moving is beautiful, rhythmic, hypnotizing, just like dancing.
