Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is A. The love of my life walked out of the door, a cappuccino in her hand.

Explanation:

In grammar, an absolute phrase refers to a phrase (set of words) that modifies a complete or independent sentence. In this way, in the case presented the phrase "a cappuccino in her hand" is absolute because it modifies the sentence "The love of my life walked out of the door".

Besides this, in terms of punctuation, absolute phrases are connected to the independent sentence they modify only through a comma. This implies the correct sentence is "The love of my life walked out of the door, a cappuccino in her hand" because in this, the comma is used to connect the absolute phrase and the sentence that is modified.

Answer 2
Answer: The answer is the first sentence.

In the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the raven repeats the word nevermore in response to the speaker’s questions. What effect does this response have on the speaker? 1)The speaker feels less disturbed about the loss of Lenore. 2)The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
3)The speaker begins to get a sense of closure about losing Lenore.
4)The speaker goes into a trance and forgets about his pain over Lenore.

Answers

The correct answer is 2) The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness. 

This is because as the poem closes, the word nevermore occurs in more and more depressing situations because it is the only word the raven can say, and the poet asks him questions to which that can be the only answer. These questions become maddening and more depressing as time goes by.
If you haven't read "The Raven", here's some necessary information you need to know in order to answer this question.

As the speaker, or narrator, thinks about the situation, he starts to hallucinate about angels that appear and swing an “unseen censer.” They even start spreading perfume around the room. He connects the perfume to be something called Nepenthe. This is a mythical drink that works somewhat like an antidepressant. This causes him to cry aloud that nepenthe would help him forget about Lenore. The raven only replies "Nevermore" as it had always been replying before.

This proves that the correct answer should be option 2 )  the speaker's mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
