So far, i had not opened my eyes. i felt that i lay upon my back, unbound. i reached out my hand, and it fell heavily upon something damp and hard. there i suffered it to remain for many minutes, while i strove to imagine where and what i could be. i longed, yet dared not to employ my vision. i dreaded the first glance at objects around me. it was not that i feared to look upon things horrible, but that i grew aghast lest there should be nothing to see. at length, with a wild desperation at heart, i quickly unclosed my eyes. my worst thoughts, then, were confirmed. the blackness of eternal night encompassed me. i struggled for breath. the intensity of the darkness seemed to oppress and stifle me. the atmosphere was intolerably close. i still lay quietly and made effort to exercise my reason. i brought to mind the inquisitorial proceedings and attempted from that point to deduce my real condition. the sentence had passed, and it appeared to me that a very long interval of time had since elapsed. how does poe create suspense in this excerpt? a. by suggesting that the narrator is reacting with an unrealistic degree of panic.
b. by indicating that a long time has passed since the narrator was sentenced. c. by having the narrator reach out and touch something unidentified. d. by describing the narrator's distress as he tries to figure out where he is.

The correct answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Poe is using a detailed description of the uncomfortable situation that creates a level of suspense to lead the reader to come up with a conclusion of where he was and what was the result of the previous circumstances that took the narrator to that place.

the president was the speaker and it was a great part of history.

explanation:

video of the national aeronautic space administration's (nasa) coverage of president john f. kennedy’s address at rice university, houston, texas, concerning the nation's efforts in space exploration. in his speech the president discusses the necessity for the united states to become an international leader in space exploration and famously states, "we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
