In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which excerpts from the story reflect this fact?Excerpt 1The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. Excerpt 2 The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. Excerpt 3 His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. Excerpt 4 But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

Explanation:

which of these sentence segments does not contain a capitalization error? on july 20, 1969, neil armstrong landed the lunar spacecraft, the eagle, on the moon.

Answers


The sentence should read as follows;

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong landed the lunar spacecraft, The Eagle, on the moon.

So it wouldn't be the first one because July should be capitalized, proper because it's naming a particular month.

It wouldn't be the second because Neil Armstrong should be capitalized, proper because it's naming a particular man.

It wouldn't be the third because The Eagle should be capitalized, proper because it's naming the spacecraft.

So the answer is the fourth option

on the moon

Hope this helps. :)

Explanation:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.The infinitive phrase of the statement introduces the:
purpose of the statement
subject of the statement
action of the statement
object of the statement

Answers

Answer:

Purpose of the statement.

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is one that has an infinitive verb (one that begins with "to") and has elements that complete its meaning.

In the case of the above excerpt, the infinitive phrase "In order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility ..." represents the purpose of the United States declaration.

A "purpose" represents the expression that explains why something is being done or created. For example: What is the purpose of a graph? The fork is designed to help us eat, so its purpose is to help us eat.

So the infinitive phrase in the excerpt shows why the US declaration was made. According to the infinitive phrase, the statement was made to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide common defense, promote general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Freedom for us and our posterity, order and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Purpose of the statement.
