In "The Pit and the Pendulum," the narrator finds himself tied down flat, with a sharp pendulum slowly swinging downwards towards him.
He finds that he is unable to untie himself.
Earlier, he was given food, containing meat, and that food is within his reach, though he is tied down.
He finds rats are in the cell with him, so he devises a plan.
He takes the meat from his dish and rubs it all over the ropes tying him down. The rats then jump up onto him and begin gnawing on the ropes. Eventually, he is able to split the chewed ropes and free himself.
Alliteration is the occurrence of the smae letter or sound at the beginning of closely connected words.
A woman has to be the house wife and stay home mother who cooks and cleans while the man has to do all the hardwork and make all the money come in.
This may work if both parties agree with this generalisation or ideal but if one disagrees this creates conflict within a marriage. Today our society isn't so fixed on gender roles as they were in the past, at least in America. Marriage rates are also lower than they were in the past.

<span>C) give hints about the characters of Dr. Heidegger's guests.
The words all describe Dr. Heidegger's guests. Since the story is not written from Dr. Heidegger's guests, we don't know if this is the way he feels about his friends. This eliminates option B. The words also do not describe the time or place of the story, eliminating option A. None of the words indicate a length of time or are used to show how long the friends know each other, eliminating option C.
