Answer:

The highwayman's anger was caused by the discovery of the death of Bess, the girl he loved.

Explanation:

The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman falling in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. But the betrayal of Tim, the ostler, led Bess, the girl to sacrifice her life to save the highwayman from getting killed by the authorities.

The lines <em>"back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky"</em> shows his anger at discovering that Bess had been killed while trying to save him. This was her way of making sure that he did not get captured and then tortured by the authorities, thereby showing her love for him. Thus, <u>the anger in him was a result of knowing Bess, his lover, had died at the hands of the authorities who were waiting for him.</u>

An English friend of yours called James gave a party yesterday, which you enjoyed. Write a card to send to James. In your card,

Molodets [167]

Dear James.

First of all I would like to inform you that I had a lot of fun yesterday at your party and thank you immensely for having invited me. I haven't felt this excited in days, but that changed completely during the party, which was perfect and extremely fun. The choice of songs you made couldn't have been better and it managed to keep me dancing all night long. I also need praise for the foods that were being served. I can't imagine which one I liked the most. In addition, all the guests were very friendly and kind, I felt very welcomed.

I would like to take the opportunity and invite you to lunch tomorrow if you are not busy. That way we can talk more about the party and plan a next one, this time, on my own. What do you think?

I await your reply.

With love,

Maria.
