Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence best shows the narrator is transitioning to a flashback? from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe TRUE!ânervousâvery, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my sensesânot destroyedânot dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthilyâhow calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vultureâa pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degreesâvery graduallyâI made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceededâwith what cautionâwith what foresightâwith what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened itâoh so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowlyâvery, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiouslyâoh, so cautiouslyâcautiousl

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as âsociety is formed in the wisest manner.â yes, because she uses objective language such as âit looks like presumption to endeavor.â no, because she uses subjective language such as âthough proof must be brought, or the strong hold.â no, because she uses subjective language such as âabsurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.â
