Read the excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado":

It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had completed the eighth, the ninth and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. I struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato.

The bolded line best supports which central idea? (4 points)

Hard work
Distress
Dignity
Success
Plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Distress

Explanation:

Since he was struggling in what he was doing, such as placing the stone in it's place and that it was not perfect and was just partial. Shows that he was worrying. Also because the hair on his arms were standing up, it showed that he was stressed and scared  because of Fortunato's odd response. I hope this is correct!

the Greeks. felt at home with human gods
A. them
B. themselves
C. yourselves
D.they​

Answers

Answer: D. they

Explanation:

They felt at home with human gods.

The correct word to fill in the dash here would be a pronoun that can be used to start a sentence. This rules out options A through C as these are used to describe nouns that have already been mentioned in a sentence.

"They" is a pronoun that is used when referring to a group of people and in this case we are referring to the Greeks so it would be right to use "they" to describe their tendencies to feel at home with human gods. It can be used to start a sentence as well so it is the correct answer.

When she concluded, she was a little embarrassed at the pride she took in her own words. She pretended to quibble with a phrase or two, then looked questioningly to her mother. Laura's face was radiant. Yoyo turned to share her pride with her father. What does the underlined idiom tell the reader about Yoyo

Answers

Hi. You didn't underline anything in the above text, but from the context of your question, we can understand that the "idiom" the question refers to is the expression "put her nose to the fire." In that case, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

The expression "put her nose to the fire" means that Yoyo worked hard and dedicated himself to deliver the speech.

Explanation:

As we can see in the text above, Yoyo was very dedicated to being able to speak at such an important assembly. In addition to creating the speech, he had to overcome the shame and stage fright and even the fear of expressing herself. But the text shows that she is a very dedicated girl who worked hard for this achievement. All this effort is represented by the expression "put her nose to the fire," which shows that Yoyo put herself in a situation that was uncomfortable for her, but that she was ready to face it.

Answer:

She worked hard to finish her speech for the assembly.
