This short story depicts how a plantation owner named Preyton Farquhar is prepared for the execution by hanging. The excerpt depicts this hanging scene. In the story, the rope breaks and the protagonist flees the scene. However, in the end of the story it is just an imagination from the character's part and a narrative technique from the writer's part. The correct answer is D - It suggests that Farquhar may be alive.

Compare Siegfried Sassoon’s works to Valery’s essay. How are their messages similar? How do the authors persuade their audiences
Dmitry [639]
Siegfried Sasson illustrates the dramatic transformation most soldiers went through after experiencing World War 1. Englishmen like Sasson initially thought themselves as involved in a heroic effort to defend liberalism and the British a hellish and pointless nightmare. Intellectuals like Paul Valery were also disillusioned by the war, and many feared that the West and its liberal values would not long survive. In the essay below, he makes allusion to the scene in which Hamlet ponders mortality while studying the skull that is all that remains of a man he had known in life.

What do the details about the length of the Arctic day add to the story? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, inc
VARVARA [1.3K]
The details of the length of the day add a sence of timeliness and limitations. When story's exist outside of time they are just random excerpts but once it has time it can begin to have a sence of actuality. Once it is grounded in time it gives more meaning to what's going on because everything has to be kept on a schedule so everything that happens is important. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock. This shows how very short the day is and how very important everything that you can squeeze in is. it shows their limitation so everything that gets done is more impressive.
