Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and use your knowledge of the story

to answer the question that follows. I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me.
Which torture does the passage above reference?

being eaten alive by rats
being sliced open by a giant blade
being killed by falling into a hole
being burned alive

Answer:

  • The sentence that best explains how the context of the excerpt supports the author's idea is:  <u><em>"When photographs of the faces of all those who died in the World Trade Center destruction are assembled in one place, it will be possible to trace in the skin color, the shape of the eyes and the noses, the texture of the hair, a map of the world."</em></u>
  • Quindlen uses the context of the World Trade Center attacks to describe the unity among Americans of all different nationalities.

Explanation:

We can see that Quindlen's idea that all Americans unite during times of difficulty is present when she talks about the Tade Center destruction and how people from different ethnicities and nationalities died. The loss of all of them was equally felt by Americans because, even if all the victims were different, it is the loss of the people that makes our nation.

The attack on the World Trade Center is a clear example of how Americans, even with their different nationalities, come together during hard times thank patriotism, which makes all the citizens leave their differences behind for the country.
