If Poe had written "The Black Cat" in purely chronological order, what effect do you think it would have had on the story's pacing, mood, and Tone

It would give the story a normal pace that matches the plot point of the story, the mood would be arranged and the reader would not have Mix-Match feelings and the tone of the author would be easier to dictate

its passive

active

passive

active

comfortable

explanation:

one type of the adjectives is predicate adjective. a predicate adjective is an adjective which follows a linking verb and modifies or refers back to the main subject of that linking verb.

it usually is used just before the noun it modies.

here in this example:

'penguins seem comfortable in the coolest habitats', comfortable is the predicate adjective which follows the linking verb 'seem' and modifies the noun.
