Question

2. Read the following excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.

I had my head in and was about to open the lantern when my thumb slipped upon
the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out --"Who's there?"
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in
the meantime, I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening:
--just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
Based on the excerpt above, the reader can infer all of the following traits about the
narrator except his:
A: impulsiveness
B: patience
C:caution
D: determination

Answer 1

Answer: Impulsiveness

Step-by-step explanation:

The text clearly showed how patient he was by how long he waited, it showed how determined he was because he did not leave, and it should how cautious he was because he didn't move at all for an hour. So impulsiveness would be your answer. Ik this is late but this is for future people viewing this question :P. Have a Fantastic day!!! :D
