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.

Answer:

Stay Away and Forget

Explanation:

This is hope-despair situation. Since Jason has no legal agreement with the builder who is not obliged to go ahead with plan the anger of Jason is not justified. I would tell Jason to just stay away from such dreamy thoughts outcome of which is based on other man's plan and projects. Jason should also not do any more small investment in his house just with the hope of builder's plan. There is a suggestion if Jason could motivate the builder to go ahead with his earlier plan, but if he thinks he ma not able to do it he should forget it like a momentary dream of hope and despair.

Artemon [7]

Answer: B. Stupidity

Explanation:

The question relates to the work of Friedrich Nietzche in his essay, "Morality as Anti-Nature".

In this essay he makes his disapproval of morality taught by Religion known as he posits that the fundamental thing wrong with morality is it's ties to Religion.

In paragraph 12, he speaks to how the Priest, a representation of the leadership of the church, has through his holy WITLESSNESS, has failed to be understanding and compassionate and as a result, they that are have found a way to utilize it ij their favor.

This infers that the Priest has been stupid to behave in the manner described meaning therefore that Witlessness here speaks to Stupidity.
