Isaw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which i had escaped. another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which i had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the inquisition. to the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. i had been reserved for the latter. by long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until i trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me. all of the following excerpts develop the plot through the narrator’s mental activity except “i . . congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which i had escaped.” “i trembled at the sound of my own voice . . ” “[t]he death just avoided was of that very character which i had regarded as fabulous and frivolous . . ” “by long suffering my nerves had been unstrung . .

The correct answer for which excerpts does not develop through the narrator's mental activity is “I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .”

The narrator mental activity can be distinguished from others excerpts because the narration from his own mind comes from the first person point of view while in this excerpt “I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .” is descriptive, it informs about how he felt rather than what he thought about this moment.

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.

byzantine empire is the answer i think you are looking for.

hope this : )
