"the pit and the pendulum" by edgar allan poe what are the three ways that the narrator`s captors attempt to kill him?

The pit, the pendulum with blades and then setting his chamber on fire.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Pit and The Pendulum" tells the story of the narrator who has been left in a dungeon prison. The unnamed protagonist was left in a prison when he first sensed that there was a pit through which his captors had hoped he'd fall. But he tripped on a rope which led him to discover the pit, which he realized was a fall that will eventually kill him even if not instantly. The rats in the pit will eventually kill him, which is a perfect way to torture someone.

Secondly, when he didn't fall into the pit, the captors began to swing a pendulum with a scythe that will slowly pierce and slice through his flesh, a different yet slow form of torture. The psychological pain that he had to go through, imagining the pain that will be his if he ever get hurt, hurts him more.

Lastly, when the two processes didn't work, the Inquisitors put his chamber on fire, hoping that he will be slowly burned to death. But he escaped the fire by luring the rats to bite off the rope that ties him. And then, the psychological torture of being burned to death almost led him to get mad, but he was rescued by the French under General Lasalle.

what class or school are you in i may

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
