Edgar Allen Poe's validity and reliability on the Spanish Inquisition can be made clearly through the text in "The Pit and the Pendulum". The narrator is valid because his story relates to the history of the Spanish Inquisition but unreliable because of his mental state. The Koch Blog says, " During the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, several thousand new Christians were condemned..." The narrator in the story was judged, put through hell, and tortured enough that he just wanted to end his life. As John Calvin states, "The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul."

Irina-Kira [14]
The obvious function of the Prologue as introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet<span> can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of </span>Romeo and Juliet<span>, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people’s destinies. But the Prologue itself </span>creates<span> this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it must fulfill the terms set in the Prologue. The structure of the play itself is the fate from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape.</span>

What's more formal = Are you six years old? or You're six years old, aren't you?
Simora [160]

the second bit is more formal, " You're six years old, aren't you?"

because, the other sounds very demanding or imperative, like as if you have to answer the question. so, it has to be the second line.

Write a sentence beginning with three "if" clauses, using parallel structure.
Flauer [41]
Parallel structure, or parallelism, means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. Words and phrases within a sentence should not only match in structure, but also in tense. Writers use parallel structure to add clarity to their writing, make it easier to understand and show that their writing is structurally and grammatically correct. Explore parallel structure examples to better understand the concept.

I hope this helps ❤️

Which line from the poem best illustrates alliteration? “Silver” by Walter de la Mare
shusha [124]
It is the very first line from the poem “Silver” by Walter de la Mare that best illustrates alliteration, mostly because in this line the author uses a variety of syllables.
