Answer:
B. The Rocky Mountain locusts were more widespread.
Explanation:
The correct statement is statement B, which is confirmed by the sentence <em>But these attacks </em>(attacks of the grasshoppers) <em>don't last as long or cover as wide an area as the locust plagues of the 1800s. </em>The statement C, which says that the Rocky Mountain locusts had shorter attacks, contradicts this. Statement A is correct, but that is not a difference between grasshoppers and locusts, as grasshoppers cause destruction, too. The diet of the locusts is not specified in the excerpt, but it is known that they didn't eat only grass and valuable crops, but leather, wood, sheep's wool, and even clothes off peoples' backs as well.
"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe is a brilliant story with the theme of "even if you don't tell anyone when you commit a crime, your guilty mind will tear you apart". Near the end of the story, the narrator begins hearing the sound of the dead man's heart beating. This causes the narrator to go crazy enough to confess to the murder to the cops. The narration is very interesting. The story begins with the narrator claiming that he is not crazy. This immediately causes the readers to feel unsettled. Over the course of the story, as the narrator accounts his completely unjustified hatred for the old man with the strange eye, the readers come to realize that the narrator is crazy. <span />
