This question is about the book "The Minister’s Black Veil"
Answer and Explanation:
1. There are several reasons for this, although none is explicit in the book, we can make several interpretations about why people do not ask about Mr. Hooper's black vein. First, the population does not ask about it, because Hooper does not open up to it and does not answer when someone has the courage to ask. A second reason is that the population understands that the veil has a strong connection with sin and when asking Hooper about the veil they would allow their own sins to be pointed out and that would discourage them.
2. They mean that the use of Hooper's black vein was something very unusual and dark that caused discomfort, but that it was having positive results as it attracted believers to the church and made them convert. This made the veil something very contradictory and that would need a lot of attention to be interpreted, discussed and resolved.
Answer:
The man was about to be hanged.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.
The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.
Answer:
B. participles
Explanation:
Participles are words created from verbs, that are used as an adjective. For example, the word winning is a verb. But in this sentence, "The winning competitor wins the trophy." the word winning is used to describe someone and not necessarily just the action they have participated in.
