c. The characters religion
The parts of excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" which highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering are:
“But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious.”
“The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think.”
“The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.”
The story “The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is literally and allegorically about death. Prince Prospero wanted to hide from death but is left not rescued from it. He arranged a party where he invited people from his kingdom. He ordered to decorate the halls with single colors each. The last hall was colored black which symbolizes death and the windows were painted red. There was an ebony clock which strikes everyone’s attention at the passing of every hour. Though people were busy in the celebrating the party with music and orchestra but at every hour when the clock rings which caught everyone’s attention. The tone in which Poe describes the rooms, the clock, the ringing of the clock, the activities of the people and the entry of death in the party gives an insight about the play that death is inevitable. Death is the central theme of the play. The Poe wants to focus on the issue that no one can be rescued from death by applying any means.

B. “Sunk were at once the winds; the air above” (Line 13)
Explanation:
"The Odyssey" is an epic poem that tells the story of Odysseus's adventures and his long travel back home after the Trojan War.
This particular excrept tells of his encounter with The Sirens, creatures residing on an island and luring the sailors with their enchanting songs.
Following Circa's advice, Odysseus orders his crew to put a wax in their ears so they wouldn't hear the song and to tie him firmly to the mast so he could hear the song.
This excerpt describes the ship passing by the Sirens' island and line 15 says "Some demon calm’d the air and smooth’d the deep" meaning that the weather had suddenly changed.
This claim is supported by the line suggested in answer B which says that the strong winds that followed them on their travel suddenly stopped.
