What does personification do in these lines from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe?All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim. And it was the mournful influence of the unperceived shadow that caused him to feel—although he neither saw nor heard—to feel the presence of my head within the room.
It describes death as a sentry.
It connects time and death.
It creates a sense of horror.
It emphasizes tension.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the oldman seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen norheard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristicsof having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. Allof which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could notpossibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happenand the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.

Problem 8. A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at +5.9 m/s. The racer decides to race against another driver in a souped-up stock car. Both start from rest, but the stock-car driver leaves 1.0 s before the driver of the racecar. The stock car moves with a constant acceleration of +3.6 m/s. A. Find the time it takes the racecar driver to overtake the stock-car driver. B. Find the distance the two drivers travel before they are side by side. C. Find the velocities of both cars at the instant they are side by side.

Answers

Answer:

A. After 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. v₁ = 21.06 m/s

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

Explanation:

Using, S = ut + 1/2at² where s is displacement, u is initial velocity, t is time, a is acceleration.

Car 1 has acceleration a = +5.9 m/s²; Car 2 has acceleration a = +3.6 m/s²

A. The time for the two cars to be directly side by side be t.

Beyond time, t, Car 1 will overtake Car 2.

Since both cars are starting from rest, initial velocity, u, = 0

S = 1/2at²

For car 1, time t = t - 1.0 since it started 1.0 second behind car 2

s₁ = 1/2 * 5.9 * (t - 1)²

s = 2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95

For car 2; s₂ = 1/2 * 3.6 * t² = 1.8t²

at time t, the displacement of the two cars will be equal; s₁ = s₂

2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 1.8t²

1.15t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 0

solving for t using the quadratic formula

t = (5.9 ± 4.61)/2.3

t = 4.57 s or 0.56 s

since t cannot be less than 1.0 s, t = 4.57 s

Time for car 1 = (4.57 - 1.0) s = 3.57 s

Therefore, after 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. The distance travelled by both cars, s = 1/2 * 3.6 * 4.57² = 37.59 m OR

s = 1/2 * 5.9 * 3.57² = 37.59 m

distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. Using v² = u² + 2as; since u = 0, v² = 2as

velocity of car 1; v₁² = 2 * 5.9 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₁ = 21.06 m/s

velocity of car, v₂² = 2 * 3.6 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

The most common way to start a sentence is with a/an A. present participle.
B. subject.
C. dependent adverbial clause.
D. infinitive.

Answers

The most common way to start a sentence is with a B. subject. In English, usually the sequence of these parts of a sentence is the following one - SVO, which stands for subject-verb-object. Modifiers come either last or sometime after the subject of the sentence. Usually, you wouldn't start a sentence with a participle, clause, or infinitive, but that can also sometimes happen.
The answer would be B. subject

Explanation:

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. He had been in the war in Libya and wore two wound-stripes. He said that if the thing went well he would see that I was decorated. I said I hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. I asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. I went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. The drivers were pleased with it and I left them there.Hemingway uses vague pronouns and simple language to

what page number of the outsiders is this quote They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.”

Answers

It's not.

This quote is not in the book The Outsiders. However, it was said by S.E. Hinton, the author of The Outsiders. The quote can be found as the tagline for the movie version of the book. A tagline is the catchphrase for the movie. It is used for advertising purposes to get people hooked and interested in watching. 
Chapter 1 of the book supports this quote when Ponyboy describes the Greasers and the Socs.
I'm not sure if this is the exact words written in the book but I read an article about the book and these words were written by a reviewer. 

The phrase,"They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.” was supported by the passages found in Chapter 1 page 4 of the book.
