Read the following excerpt from “The Cask of Amontillado” and answer the question.At the most remote end of the crypt there appeared another less spacious. Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris. Three sides of this interior crypt were still ornamented in this manner. From the fourth side the bones had been thrown down, and lay promiscuously upon the earth, forming at one point a mound of some size.

The passage above provides a description of which story element?

Character
Climax
Rising action
Setting

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I believe the answer would be Rising action because the suspense (the "horrid" descriptions of the chamber) is slowly building up to the climax in which there would be a resolution to the conflict.

(I have read "The Cask of Amontillado" before)

The answer to your question would be that the sentences that contain a double negative are the following ones: "This candy isn't hardly sweet" and "They don't never have chocolate."

A double negative occurs when there are two negative elements within the same clause. In the first case, the sentence contains the negative particle not and the negative adverb hardly. In the second one, the negative elements are the negative particle not and the negative adverb never.
1. this candy is hardly sweet.

Read this line from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;

Answers

Answer:

Having heard this line in the prologue, the audience can predict that the two lovers will not have a happy ending to their story and not survive at the end.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around the story of two lovers who stayed loyal to each other despite their family's feuding history. And through this faithful love, the two young characters met a fateful death, choosing death rather than live without the other.

The prologue states "Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;"

This clearly states that the lovers will meet their deaths, with their love turning "fatal" for them. Moreover, it also reveals that they will die with their own decision, "tak[ing] their life".

Thus, the prologue enables the readers to predict that the lovers will no survive at the end of the story.
