There is a secret about one of my rooms on which I feel disposed to try an experiment. So, gentlemen, none of you shall know who

has the haunted chamber, until circumstances reveal it. I will not even know it myself, but will leave it to chance and the allotment of the housekeeper. At the same time, if it will be any satisfaction to you, I will observe, for the honor of my paternal mansion, that there’s scarcely a chamber in it but is well worthy of being haunted.” What technique does Irving use to build suspense in the excerpt?
a) The pace of the story quickens.
b) The word choice darkens the tone.
c) Odd characters are introduced.
d) Setting details are intentionally omitted.

B, because it doesn't exactly quicken as in a, no odd characters are introduced, and these not really any details we need to know that are left out. I picked B because there are intentionally larger words.

6. What was the main intent of the Treaty of Versailles?
posledela

Answer:

The Allies wanted to ensure that Germany would never again pose a  threat to other countries in Europe.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles was drawn up after World War I, whereby the nation of Germany was made to pay remunerations to those nations affected by the war. This peace treaty was done between Germany and the Allied nations mainly consisting of the UK, France, Italy, and the United States.

The meeting that was convened at Versailles was attended by nearly 30 nations. But the provisions of the treaty were mainly drawn by the four nations or the Allied nations. This was done to punish Germany for initiating the war and also hold the nation accountable. But overall, the <u>main reason was to strip Germany so much so that it would not pose any threat to other European countries again in the future</u>. Though Germany wasn't involved in the decision-making, it had no choice but to accept the terms of the treaty. Thus, the <u>Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. </u>

g100num [7]

Answer:

D). It contains background information about the Nature Center that a general audience would need.

Explanation:

As per the opening paragraph given here from a formal e-mail, the reader would conclude that the e-mail was composed for a general audience as the inclusion of 'background information about the Nature Center reflects the information that a general audience would require'. A general audience comprises distinct categories of people who may or may not possess the relevant contextual knowledge about the subject or topic and therefore, require background information to understand the topic and intended information clearly and comprehensively. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
