Which passage is an example of the falling action in "the black cat"? a. i again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the deed. b. but to-morrow i die, and to-day i would unburthen my soul. c. from my infancy i was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. d. my entire worldly wealth was swallowed up, and i resigned myself thenceforward to despair.

But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul

Explanation:

to and without are prepositions, so a, b, and d are prepositional phrases. the adverb phrase is c, about the surprise.

explanation:

when making an inference, the reader should be sure to support the inference with

evidence

a is an educated guess about what will happen.

c. prediction

when new information proves that a reader's prediction is wrong, the reader should

make a new prediction based on the new information.
