This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Multiple choice question:

Select the choice which best identifies the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado."

"I forced the last stone into its position; I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them."

A. Irony/sarcasm

B. Setting

C. Characterization

D. Tragic resolution

Answer:

The option that best identifies the passage is:

D. Tragic resolution

Explanation:

<u>In literature, resolution is what comes after the climax, when the conflicts have been solved and things have worked out.</u> In the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by Edgar Allan Poe, the climax takes place when the main character and narrator, Montresor, is "burying" his friend alive by chaining him to a wall and building another wall to keep him trapped inside. The resolution is precisely the passage we were given:

"I forced the last stone into its position; I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them."

<u>The narrator is letting us know what happens after the climax. It is quite tragic since his friend indeed dies and no one ever finds out about Montresor's crime. The conflict ends in death and impunity.</u>

Is engine a common noun
tester [92]
Yes! Common nouns = Nouns name people, places, and things. Every noun can further be classified as common or proper. A common noun names general items.

Go into the kitchen. What do you see? Refrigerator, magnet, stove, window, coffee maker, wallpaper, spatula, sink, plate—all of these things are common nouns.

Leave the house. Where can you go? Mall, restaurant, school, post office, backyard, beach, pet store, supermarket, gas station—all of these places are common nouns.

Go to the mall. Who do you see? Teenager, grandmother, salesclerk, police officer, toddler, manager, window dresser, janitor, shoplifter—all of these people are common nouns.

The important thing to remember is that common nouns are general names of everyday items.
