Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and use your knowledge of the story

to answer the question that follows.
Amid the thought of the fiery destruction that impended, the idea of the coolness of the well came over my soul like balm. I rushed to its deadly brink. I threw my straining vision below. The glare from the enkindled roof illumined its inmost recesses. Yet, for a wild moment, did my spirit refuse to comprehend the meaning of what I saw. At length it forced—it wrestled its way into my soul—it burned itself in upon my shuddering reason. O for a voice to speak!—oh, horror!—oh, any horror but this! With a shriek I rushed from the margin and buried my face in my hands—weeping bitterly.

Which torture does the passage above reference?

being eaten alive by rats
being burned alive
being killed by falling into a hole
being sliced open by a giant blade

Yes, the correct answer is B because in the first line they said something about the destruction and described it as fiery. Fires are actually fiery that's why the answer is being burned alive... :)

Choose the sentence below that best represents a speeches theme.
lakkis [162]

To complete your question, the answer choice is as follows

a. Our Country has worked hard to provide equal rights for people.

b. Rosa Parks was a great American civil rights leader.

c. Freedom and equality are worth great sacrifice.

d Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus for a white woman.

The sentence that best represents a speech’s theme is "Freedom and equality are worth great sacrifice". This implies the correct answer is C.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

A speeches theme should be general and be very concise enough to describe the details of a speech without giving the full details of the content of the speech. The speech theme should be centered mainly on the core values and the topics to be discussed.

A speeches theme must also be the subject that should be developed in a speech and from the options provided only “Freedom and equality are worth great sacrifice” serves this particular purpose.

Also, carefully analyzing other answer choices, you will see they are not issues that should be developed instead they are parts of the speech that will support the argument on the subject.  

However, the introduction of your speech is very important mainly because it points out what your speech is all about. It tells the audience or the listeners the purpose of your speech.
