Read the excerpt from a short story. The Sonoran Desert route was his favorite. His friends were surprised he could endure the s

olitude of it, but he cherished the barren miles. Today he’d passed a mile of verbena in full bloom, followed by ten miles with nothing but sagebrush. The next leg promised cliffs, and he loved to imagine scaling them as he traversed the desolate highway. In fact, one was rising in the distance, and the highway would bear right around it. He looked down to cool the temperature, looked up again, and stared. The grill of a tractor trailer, in his lane, was bearing down upon him. How does the excerpt exemplify the ideas King describes in "Danse Macabre"? It allows readers to approach a “forbidden door.” It provides a “single powerful spectacle” for the imagination’s eye. It forces readers to “grapple” with their own mortality. It introduces an unlikely “dancing partner.”

If the options are:

A. Viewers would have to infer the emotions and motivations of Ben and Regina.
B. Viewers would have to envision the physical descriptions of Ben and Regina.
C. Viewers would have to imagine the few props being used by Ben and Regina.
<span>D. Viewers would have to visualize the actions and movements of Ben and Regina.
</span>
Then the right answer is A. In stage and film adaptations, there is no need for the viewers to envision physical descriptions, imagine props, or visualize actions and movements. They can already see all of that, as the directors have already taken care of it. We only have to visualize all these things when we read the play. However, inferring the inner enigmas of characters' motivations is still up to us.

eimsori [14]

Speaker's brave conquests are mentioned or at least cited in the following options from the excerpt:

  • <em>Option 1</em>, in which he tells about his innumerable combats he had won.
  • <em>Option 4 </em>also celebrates his fight with Grendel.
  • In <em>Option 6</em>, the speaker is showing us how valiant his action in the field of war can be.

Therefore, I assume, from my understanding, that these are the three statements from the provided excerpt which focus on the narrators heroic accomplishments.
