In report writing, or any case of technical writing, you must properly give credit to your resources or references. When you paraphrased the findings of another person, you can cite their work as references in the bibliography. But if you want to retain their statements word for word, you use quotation marks ("). Before doing so, you must use introductory words like "according to", "based on what he said", "and I quote", or any style that you want.
From the choices, the correct use of quotation would be letter B.
Character AnalysisActions
We don't have very many characters to learn about in this story…just Prince Prospero and the Red Death (who's barely a character anyway). But what little we do know of them we often learn through action. Prospero abandons his kingdom to live a life of wanton pleasure with 1,000 of his friends in a secluded hideaway. He's a party animal, as we can guess from his wild masquerade. And he's also quite the hothead: when he's offended by the guest in the Red Death costume, he orders him to be unmasked and publicly hung. When that doesn't work (because everyone's too nervous), he loses his cool and charges the Red Death with a knife.
As for the Red Death, he just "stalks" around and kills people.
Direct Characterization
The narrator tells us straight up that Prospero's might be a little bit "unhinged," though he doesn't tell us precisely whether he really is or not. As he puts it at one point: "There are some who would have thought him mad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hear and see and touch him to be sure that he was not" (6). He also tells us of Prospero's fanciful but artistic tastes, and his love of the bizarre.
Location
Prospero's character is reflected in the abbey and the suite he's designed. The abbey, completely cut off from the world, displays his own lack of concern for his subjects. As for the suite, it's daring, dramatic, imaginative, and perhaps a bit deranged. More than anything else, it's through the brilliant inventiveness of his masquerade that we see Prospero's artistic side. And his madness.
Physical Appearance
The only real details we have of the Red Death are the details of his appearance. He looks like a dead body wrapped in burial clothes, wearing a corpse-mask, and he's covered in sprinkled blood. Oh, and there happens to be nothing under the costume, so he's got the whole "spectral" thing going on in a big way.
Names
Prince Prospero's name makes us think of prospering – of wealth, wine, and festivities. In short all those things associated with living life to the fullest. That sets him against the Red Death. No big question about what his name means.
Prospero's name may also be an allusion to Shakespeare's character of the same name. The connection is surprisingly rich.
The correct answer is antipodes. This word describes the people who live on opposite sides of the world. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
