Read this excerpt from paragraph 9 of "The Black Cat" and answer the question. On the night of the day on which this cruel deed

was done, I was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire. The curtains of my bed were in flames. The whole house was blazing. ...I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity. Why did the author most likely include the underlined sentence? to explore the possibility of the fire smoldering long before the cat was dead to negate any idea that there is a supernatural link between the cat and the fire to explain how the cat's death may be a remote factor in the fire to disprove the connection between the fire, the cat, and the narrator NEXT

The correct answer is "to explore the possibility of the fire smoldering long before the cat was dead".

The author's does that to stretch the readers anticipation and therefore intensify the tension by slightly and alternatively moving the attention from the previous and subsequent horrific events, which will inevitably remain in the readers mind due the visceral nature of them, since it's a horrific tale that strives for accentuating feelings like despair and distress with frightening scenarios.

Which of these subjects would most likely be written about in a descriptive poem?
storchak [24]

D. Style and color of a woman's shoes

The most obvious characteristic of a descriptive poem is that it will have detailed descriptions.  Thus, it will be notably void of a narrative that focuses on a story of some sort.  In fact, descriptive poetry will focus on imagery and rich detailed descriptions.  As such, a descriptive poem would most like cover style and color of a woman’s shoes.  Note, however, that a descriptive poem could focus on not just inanimate objects, but on people and animals, too.
