Answer:
B. The courtiers believe that the plague will never make it to the abbey, and in their arrogance they leave no options for escape.
Explanation:
The question above is related to "The Masque of the Red Death" by <em>Edgar Allan Poe</em>. Many people say it was written as an<u> allegory</u> to what was happening to the society.
The upper class in the story (including<em> Prince Prospero</em>), locked themselves in the abbey in order to escape the "Red Death." This was the plague that was causing the death of the lower class. The abbey was very solid and strong. It also has gates of iron, thus, the upper class felt confident enough that the plague will never reach them.
The courtiers in the statement above refers to the<em> upper class.</em> <u>They believe that they could escape death by staying inside the abbey and this would also mean that they couldn't go out of it.</u> So, when Red Death arrived at the<em> masquerade ball</em> held in the abbey, it dressed similarly to its victims. Curious of who might be behind the dress, Prospero followed it and this led to his death. They soon found out by removing the disguise that <em>no one was behind it</em>. This was then followed with the other masqueraders dying. This shows that the arrogance of the courtiers resulted to their death in the end.
No matter how much they protected themselves, they still couldn't escape death.
His point of view goes from observant to reflective, to mournful.
The narrator maintains his composure throughout the story.
Answer:
The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:
B. which
Explanation:
We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.
We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:
- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)
- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)
