Answer:

1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue

2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue

3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue

Explanation:

In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".

In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.

Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.

viktelen [127]

Answer: A. Civil or religious leaders who impose religion on others are

hypocritical.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson advocated for the separation between religion and government because he believed that it was hypocritical to impose religion on others.

How does the narrator feel immediately after he commits the murder? Do his feelings change? If so, how and why in Tell-Tale Hear
IceJOKER [234]

Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:

<em>First I cut off the  head, then the arms and the legs. I  was careful not to let a single drop  of blood fall on the floor. I pulled  up three of the boards that formed  the floor, and put the pieces of the  body there. Then I put the boards  down again, carefully, so carefully  that no human eye could see that  they had been moved.</em>

Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:

<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they  who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could  bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder!  Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried,  “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed  him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>
