Answer:

The context clues which would be the most helpful in determining the meaning of asunder are: tore and pieces.

Explanation:

Asunder is an archaic adverb, which means we do not use it much nowadays. It means apart, divided, or into pieces. Supposing we did not know that definition, we could easily guess the meaning of asunder by finding context clues in the sentence where it appears. <u>In this case, there are two words that can easily help us understand what asunder means: tore and pieces. Tore, the past form of the verb tear, means to rip something apart. And pieces, of course, mean a portion, chunk, or segment of something. If Adam tore something asunder and then threw the pieces, we can safely guess asunder has something to do with making those pieces, breaking or ripping something.</u>

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

There are hints in the story that suggests that Mon-t-re-sor considered Fortun-ato to be naive.

And, Mon-t-re-sor did not regret Fortun-ato's ignorance.

Explanation:

'The Cask of Amon-tillado' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story is a revenge narration of Mont-resor, who is confessing his crime to someone fifty years later after he committed the crime.

From the stories, one can find clues that Mont-resor considered Fortun-ato to be a fool. When he states <em>'I was so pleased to see him, that I  thought I should never have done wrin-gi-ng his hand.' </em>

Mont-resor also never regretted Fortun-ato's ignorance rather he was pleased that he did not have to wr-ing his hand to exert his plan.

Should you have a capital letter in a quotation Mark
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

that depends.

Explanation:

If you are only using the capital letter, I'll use 'A' as an example, here is a sentence this would work; And as I was finishing up the letter to my love, I wrote "Love, Yours truly, 'A'.", and this is how you should always write a stand alone capital letter.(:

You're welcome!
