What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?


I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?

Answer 1

Answer:

Discovery.

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a horror story about how a family's house falls, literally and figuratively. The unnamed narrator takes us through what happened, dealing with themes of supernatural elements, incest, and evil.

Based on the given excerpt, the unnamed narrator is giving us a 'tour' of what the House of Usher looks like. In giving us the scene, "the bleak walls [. . .] vacant eye-like windows" presents us the visual of how the scene looks. This gives the tone of discovery, the discovery of what the house seems/ looks like. He also went on describing what he feels on looking at the view in front of him. He also stated that "It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered". All these observations constitute the feeling of discovering what is ahead, in front of him.

What is the rule about ending a sentence with a preposition.

Answers

Answer:

It's not an error to end a sentence with a preposition, but it is a little less formal. In emails, text messages, and notes to friends, it's perfectly fine. But if you're writing a research paper or submitting a business proposal and you want to sound very formal, avoid ending sentences with prepositions.

Explanation:

Answer:

According to the rule, you should avoid ending a sentence with a preposition by removing the preposition or changing its position in a sentence. For example, you supposedly should not write, "I have a dishwasher that I want to get rid of." You could write, “I want to get rid of my dishwasher.”

Dear Parinita,

I hope you are well in your new boarding school and you have made new friends. I miss you and all the conversations we had during our school days.

However, I must share with you that my elder sister has become my best friend since you left. She always listens to me and gives me care and support. Though she has always been very affectionate, but now she goes out of the way to take care of me.

She is my idol and I look up to her for all my problems. She is very tolerant and does not scold me, if I make any mistakes. She helps me with my homework and gives me company. I feel lucky to have her as my elder sister.

We have become the best pals. I share the minutest of details with her. She knows all my secrets and now she is also aware of all the pranks that both of us have played till date. She made me understand that a few of the pranks could have had adverse effects and I should not repeat them. I confide in her for everything and I trust her completely.

I look forward to seeing you during the next vacation. I would love to introduce you to my sister and all three of us can have a great time together.

Till we meet next, its adieu from my side. I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Wishing you all the best in all your endeavors.

Love,

Khyati

Answer:

household chores should be divide equally. In order to achieve this you have to set up a system in which there are rotations and equal days for different chores.

I think this is the best way to divide chores, because if it is done unequally chaos would erupt.

Answers

Answer:

Claudius's guilt

Hamlet's madness.

Explanation:

Hamlet is a tragedy play written by William Shakespeare. The play is about Prince Hamlet, who mourns and seeks to avenge his father, King Hamlet's murderer.

In Act 3, the two questions that were definitely not settled were Claudius's guilt and Hamlet's madness. The act begins with Claudius questioning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern about Hamlet's insanity. The question remains unanswered as they were not able to answer the reason behin Hamlet's strange behaviour.

Another question that remains unanswered was whether Clauidius was guilty of  murdering King Hamlet or not. Though his concern for Hamlet's insane behavior seemed to come out of love for him, but in secret he was conspiring to kill him. This questions that whether Claudius was trying to hide his sin, or with what purpose was he trying to kill Hamlet.

Therefore, the correct answers are option B and D.

Answer:

Claudius Guild AND Hamlets Madness

Explanation:

These are the two central issues in the play Hamlet. They are not resolved untill the end of the play when both Hamlet and Claudius die as a result of their actions.
