How was this vile nervous fit, for such I now persuaded myself it was, to be conquered? I determined to force myself not to look

at the painting but to undress quickly and get into bed. I began to undress, but in spite of every effort I could not keep myself from stealing a glance every now and then at the picture; and a glance was now sufficient to distress me. Even when my back was turned to it, the idea of this strange face behind me, peering over my shoulder, was insufferable. . . . I had grown nervous to a dismal degree.
–“The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture,”
Washington Irving

Answer:

The answer is indeed:

undressing uncomfortably

being unable to take his eyes away

being nervous

Explanation:

The suspenseful tone of this passage relies on the uneasy mood created by the author. The mood provokes an emotional response in readers and, in this case, it is set by the actions described. Even though the speaker wishes to not look at the picture, he is unable to do so. Readers can imagine him glancing at it as we glance at something we are afraid of; undressing uncomfortably as we do when we feel that someone is watching us; being nervous as if something is about to happen. All those actions contribute to a sense of suspense and uneasiness.

Which excerpt is an example of Logos Kennedy's address at Rice University?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:  The correct answer is :  D. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.

 

Explanation:  The space budget is now $ 5,400 million a year, this is a pretty amazing sum, but it's a little less than we pay for cigarettes every year. Space costs will soon increase a little more, from 40 to more than 50 cents per person, per week, for every man, woman and child in the United States. We have given this program a high national priority, although this is an act of faith and vision because we do not know what benefits await us. This was said by John F. Kennedy in the moon speech at Rice University.
