Answer:

No, I don't think he's very trustworthy because throughout the story you can tell how out of it and demented he is.

Explanation:

I think he just told the story as he lived it, but it might not be what had happened. From the very beginning of the story, he tries to make a case for his sanity, but the story he tells completely undermines it and is at odds with his declarations of sanity. Throughout the story, he recalls the events that led him to murder the old man and then confess. According to the text it states, "'Villains!' I shrieked, 'dissemble no more! I admit the deed!— tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!'"

Makes the reader wonder what "doesn't love a wall."

Answer: Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

This line has been taken from the poem "Mending wall". In the line The fact that the speaker does not specify what, precisely, is the "Something" that "sends the frozen-ground-swell" under the fence could mean that the word something refers to nature, as another educator suggested, or even God.  The word "sends" in line two implies that the sender has a will, a conscious purpose, so it seems logical to consider the possibility we should attribute such a sending to a higher being.

Further, in the lines which follow the first two, this "Something" also "spills" the big rocks from the top of the fence out into the sun and "makes gaps" in the fence where two grown men can walk through, side by side (lines 3, 4).  These verbs are also active, like "sends," and imply reason and purpose to the one who performs the actions.  Therefore, it is plausible that the "Something" which sends "the frozen-ground-swell"—freezing the water in the ground so that the ground literally swells and bursts the fence with the movement—"spills boulders," and "makes gaps" refers to God.

What is the best plan for developing a linear plot?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

o Construct a timeline of events.

Explanation:

A linear plot structure is when the events of the story are presented in such a way that they do not move back and forth with the narration's timeline. This means that the story moves in a smooth flow, with the events narrated in chronological order.

The best plan for developing a linear plot is to construct a timeline of events. This will enable the writer to see and decide which event comes first and which is the end. By constructing the timeline, the events such as the exposition, the rising action, the climax, or even the resolution will be clearly 'labeled' and placed to formulate a linear plot.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
