The nurse chooses the room by chance. First, she asked Marian if she had any acquaintances there. Then, she just brings her into a random room, with a remark that there are two old ladies in each room. This leaves the impression that the inmates are nothing more than mere numbers. They are not regarded as persons, but as irritating and grumpy old ladies. This is a bleak, grotesque, and unsympathetic world of elderly people who get visits only from people like Marian, and she does it not because of compassion, but because she wants to gain some points for her charity work.

First eliminate the options that really do not hold any validity. Nowhere in the poem does the speaker mention a desire to become a solider, take up arms, defend her country...so option 1 is out. Also, there isn't any mention of violence. The author's choice of the word "first" in this line gives the reader the feeling that there will be a "second". This makes option 3 "war is unavoidable" the best option.

How does the description of the clock contribute to the development of the story’s theme(s)? Cite evidence in your answer.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: As the very theme of the story is the absurdity of trying to escape death, the clock serves as a reminder that death is inevitable. It symbolizes the passage of time.

Explanation:

<em>"The Masque of the Red Death"</em> is Edgar Allan Poe's short story, in which a group of thousand people, including Prince Prospero, lock themselves down in an abbey. They want to be safe during the deadly pestilence (Red Death).

In the story, The Seven Rooms of the abbey represent seven stages of life. In the Seventh Room, "against the western wall", there is "a gigantic clock of ebony." The Ebony Clock serves as a symbol of death and its inevitability, while its swinging pendulum symbolizes the passage of time. When an hour passes by, the clock chimes, and everyone listens to it, aware that they have lost an hour of their life and that death is approaching. Prince and his people could not stop the pendulum from swinging - similarly, they cannot escape death.
