The correct answer is B.

The description indicates the man is tough and rich. Tough because he has a square jaw and a scar above his eye. Rich because he has a diamond set into his scarfpin.

The other characteristics cannot be inferred based on this description.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"He is stand-offish and keeps to himself".</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading the excerpt from "After Twenty Years", the character can be inferred as "stand-offish and keeps to himself". This can be portrayed by his behaviour and his actions like lighting the cigar, showing the paleness in his eyes, and the scar near his eyebrows. The diamond which is stuck in the scarfpin shows that he has a status and is also rich. He keeps to himself because he lights the cigar on his own without concerning about others.

What does personification do in these lines from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe?
patriot [66]
It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the old man seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen nor heard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristics of having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. All of which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could not possibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happen and the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.
