Which sentence from Edgar Allan Poe's The Tel-Tale Heart uses an auxiliary verb to express necessity? 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.!
talked more quickly more vehementiy, 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— raved sworel 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 horrort this I thought and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more
tolerable than this derisionI could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now-again-harks louder!
loudert louder! louder!
