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

abruzzese [7]

The answer is:

Portia says that if Brutus were simply sick, he would do something to get better. As his wife and other half, she pleads with him to tell her what is on his mind. Then she inquires about the men who were sneaking around their house.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus' wife, Portia, seeks to know what is going through his mind. She even kneels down to ask him the reason he seems so unwell and his mind is so troubled, as promises to keep his secret. She is also worried about the men that have come to see him during the night, who are actually Caesar's conspirators.
