Read the following excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" and answer question.

the thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult i vowed revenge. you, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. at length i would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. i must not only punish, but punish with impunity. a wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. it is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

it must be understood that neither by word nor deed had i given fortunato cause to doubt my good will. i continued, as was my in to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

which words in the passage above does the author use to evoke the mood of the story?
a. "good will" and "smile"
b. "risk" and "venture"
c. "settled" and "definitiveness"
d. "retribution" and "avenger"

Explanation: In this excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, the words that the author uses to evoke the mood of the story are "retribution" and "avenger". In this excerpt, the narrator states that he has suffered injuries and insults from Fortunato. Montresor wants to give Fortunato retribution for those horrible deeds and seeks revenge. Disguised in a black mask he takes Fortunato to the wine vault with the promise of tasting Amontillado, a kind of sherry. There he is going to accomplish his revenge.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
