Question

Read the Passage from “The Black Cat”

One morning, in cool blood, I slipped a noose about its
neck and hung it to the limb of a tree; - hung it with the
tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest
remorse at my heart; – hung it because I knew that it had
offence; - hung it because I knew that in so doing I was
committing a sin - a deadly sin that would so jeopardize
my immortal soul as to place it - if such a thing were
possible - even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of
the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.
What effect does the narrator create by repeating the phrase "hung it"?
O A. It encourages the reader to sympathize with the narrator and his
emotions.
O B. It allows the reader to understand the reason behind the narrator's
actions.
C. It increases the violence of the action and highlights its
importance.
D. It helps the reader feel sorry for the car and what it had to endure

Answer 1

Your answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrator keeps saying the words, "hung it", over and over so that you realize that he was intentionally being violent and cruel. He was doing it for the reason of just to do it. Very vicious. Very cruel. Very intent on letting the reader know he was just mean and evil.
