Answer:

'It reflects Madeline's condition soon after the narrator's arrival.'

Explanation:

The given quote 'succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer' has been taken from 'The Fall of the House of Usher' authored by Edgar Allan Poe. It connotes the change in Madeline's condition after the narrator's advent. After seeing narrator, her condition deteriorated as she was not able to withstand her affliction and indisposition and perished(as reflected through the quote 'succumbed to the prostrating power').

In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.

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.

Where should the comma be placed in the following sentence? it looks like they will be champions again the reporter said?
lesya692 [45]
The correct puntuation is shown in this sentence: “It looks like they will be champions again”, the reporter said. When you have to use direct speech in a sentence, remember to put the comma before the final quotation mark, like it is shown in example. Keep in mind, that it is a rule used for the cases when direct speech is put at he beginning of a sentence.
