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... :)
