Reread paragraphs 9–10 of the story. Then answer the multiple-choice questions that follow. From “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe 9 No doubt I now grew very pale;—but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath—and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly—more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations, but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men—but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed —I raved—I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!—no, no! They heard!—they suspected!—they knew! —they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think. But any thing was better than this agony! Any thing was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!—and now—again— hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!— 10 “Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!—tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!” What effect do the punctuation choices in paragraph 9 have on the tone? Answer choices for the above question A. The dashes and exclamation marks reveal that the narrator is losing control. B. The italics make it clear that the narrator’s words aren’t to be trusted. C. The semicolons introduce a formal tone into an informal speech. D. The frequent questions reveal the narrator’s attempt to engage the reader. Which phrase from the passage most clearly suggests the narrator’s disturbed mental state at the end of the story? Answer choices for the above question A. “but I talked more fluently” B. “Why would they not be gone?” C. “It grew louder—louder—louder!” D. “And still the men chatted pleasantly” Yall i need help rn its due at 1:55

So 1 is A because the more he talks he's starting to lose his sanity.

2 is C because what is getting louder is his conscious and the dead man's soul (or whatever)

A.Teens Having Trouble Hearing Consonants
B.Hearing Loss Affects Mathew Brady's Life
C.Teens Using Music Devices in Greater Numbers
D.Hearing Loss On the Rise Among Teens

BOSTON, Massachusetts. A recent study revealed that one in five teenagers has at least some hearing loss. The rate of hearing loss among young people has grown significantly since about 1990. Now, experts are urging kids to turn down the volume on their digital music players. These experts suggest that listening to loud music through earbuds may be responsible for the increase.

For the study, researchers compared data from two nationwide health surveys of hearing loss in 12- to 19-year-olds. The first study was done between 1988 and 1994. The second was done between 2005 and 2006. In the first study, about 15 percent of teens were found to have at least some hearing loss. In the more recent study, 19.5 percent of teens had at least some hearing loss. This means that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.

Most of the hearing loss in the teens was "slight." Researchers defined "slight" as an inability to hear at 16 to 24 decibels. A teen with slight hearing loss might not be able to hear sounds such as leaves rustling or someone whispering. Dr. Gary Curhan was the study's senior author. According to Curhan, people with slight hearing loss can hear vowel sounds clearly. However, they might miss sounds from some consonants, such as t, k, and s. Experts warn that this minor loss of hearing is sufficient to cause problems in school. It also sets the stage for hearing aids later in life.

"Although speech will be detectable, it might not be fully intelligible," Curhan said. Researchers lack final evidence that listening to iPods and other music devices is to blame for hearing loss in teens. However, researchers did note a significant increase in high-frequency hearing loss. This particular type of hearing loss, researchers said, indicates that noise may be to blame. Researchers cited a 2010 Australian study. The study linked the use of personal listening devices with a 70 percent increased risk of hearing loss in young people.

"I think the evidence is out there that prolonged exposure to loud noise is likely to be harmful to hearing, but that doesn't mean kids can't listen to MP3 players," Curhan said. "Our hope is we can encourage people to be careful."

Loud music isn't anything new, of course. Each recent generation of teens has found a new technology to blast music. Teens listened to bulky headphones in the 1960s and used the handheld Sony Walkmans in the 1980s. Today's teens, however, spend more time than ever listening to music. In fact, according to audiologist Brian Fligor, young people spend more than twice as much time listening to music than previous generations.

One of Fligor's patients is 17-year-old Matthew Brady of Foxborough, Massachusetts. Matthew has a mild hearing loss. He has trouble hearing his friends in the school cafeteria. He has admitted to occasionally faking comprehension. Matthew used to listen to an iPod turned up too loud and for too long. Fligor believes this caused Matthew's muffled hearing.

Matthew used to crank up the volume on his favorites—Daughtry, Bon Jovi, and U2—while walking on a treadmill. He did this at least four days a week for 30-minute stretches at a time. One day last summer, he got off the treadmill and couldn't hear anything with his left ear. His hearing gradually returned, but it was never the same.

Matthew's fondness for listening to loud music in not uncommon. During a study of college students, Fligor found that more than half of those tested listened to music at 85 decibels or louder. That's about as loud as a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. According to Fligor, regular listening at those levels can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue. Fligor believes that some people, such as Matthew, may be more likely to experience damage than others.

These days, Matthew still listens to his digital music player. But now he listens at lower volumes.

"Do not [blast] your iPod," Matthew cautions other teens. "It's only going to hurt your hearing. I learned this the hard way."

Help pls! A Change of Plans
Azure Westin

David and his mother walked down the sidewalk. They had a tradition of going to the park every Saturday morning. They enjoyed these trips and tried not to miss them. However, the past three weekends their family had other plans, so they had to miss their weekly visit.

“I’m so glad we’re going to the park today,” David said. He nearly ran down the sidewalk with his soccer ball in his hands. I think Miguel and Steve will be there, and we can practice our soccer dribbling.”

David decided to show off and started bouncing the ball on his knees while he walked. His mother laughed, but warned him to pay attention to where he was walking. Suddenly, they both heard a large crash, and David jumped with fright. Then they saw a huge flash in the sky. A thunderstorm was developing nearby. David’s mother explained that it was too dangerous to be out walking or at the park, so they would have to go home.

“But mom!” David exclaimed. “I haven’t been to the park in nearly a month. I’ll never be a star soccer player if I don’t make time to practice.”

“Sorry, David,” she said. “I was looking forward to our visit too, but we can’t take a risk with this dangerous weather.”

David huffed, and turned around to walk back home. Crash! They heard another crash of thunder, and they both started walking even more quickly home. Just then, a cold wind swept passed them, blowing a layer of leaves and dirt off the sidewalk. The air cooled quickly, and they both realized the storm was moving directly toward them.

“Let’s run, so we make it home before it starts to rain,” his mother said.

David and his mother ran quickly down the sidewalk, occasionally looking at the gray clouds forming overhead. Finally, they reached their house and ran up the steps. Just as David’s mother put the key in the door, a few large raindrops began to hit the pavement. She opened the door, they ran inside, and then the rain began to pour down.

David looked out the window in amazement - the rain was falling so hard that it was hard to see the street in front of his house. Then he saw white specks coming down from the sky and bouncing off the pavement.

“Oh my! It’s hailing!” his mother said.

David had never seen anything like it before, so he looked closely at the white specks on the ground.

“Is that ice lying on the ground?” David asked.

“Yes,” said his mother. “Even though it’s warm and summerlike here on the ground, the atmosphere can be really cold - cold enough to make ice. When that happens, a thunderstorm can make hail in the sky and then it falls as a type of precipitation -
similar to snow and rain.”

David could hardly believe what his mother was telling him. He asked if he could do some research about hail on the computer. David then learned that hail forms when raindrops are pushed higher in the atmosphere, where it is cold. The raindrops freeze high in the atmosphere. Then, the frozen drops collide with other drops, forming larger balls. David then ran outside and collected some of the pieces of hail, which had begun to melt, and put them in the freezer.

“I want to keep a few samples,” said David. “Did you know that some hail can be as large as baseballs?”

David’s mother smiled as he read her additional facts from the articles he had read. She noticed that the sun was shining outside. She walked to the widow and looked up at the sky and realized that the storm had passed. She suggested that she and David go back to the park so he could practice his soccer skills.

“Let’s try that again next week,” David said. “I like that we had a change of plans today.”
