Read the passage. The development of telephone technology has been truly incredible over the last twenty years. Think about everything that your phone can do. It has access to the internet, can send and receive text messages, and provides access to email and other social media platforms. It's a calendar, a watch, a calculator, a camera, a video camera, a mini-computer, a TV, and a MP3 player. Oh yes, and it's still a phone. The fact that a phone can provide so many functions has meant that the manufacturers of cameras, calculators, computers, etc. have to find ways to offer developments within their products to ensure that they don't go extinct—a bit like the dinosaurs! The desire for immediate communication has meant that platforms have been developed that not only allow people to communicate orally but visually, too. Video calls enable direct visual and oral communication. One criticism of the telephone is that a person can communicate a message through their use of language; however, their body language may suggest a different message. Using the internet for video calls means that people are able to communicate using their body language and facial expressions as well as their words; the same way that we do within a normal conversation. Telephone companies are still trying to figure out how they can benefit from these developments in technology. Sadly, some companies try to control internet use and charge excessive fees to users, while others attempt to convince governments to ban the use of specific social media apps that provide video calls. The two main ideas from the passage are that phones have many different functions, and developments in technology now allow people to visually communicate through video calls. Select the best group of sentences from the text that support these ideas. a "It has access to the internet, can send and receive text messages, and provides access to email and other social media platforms." "It's a calendar, a watch, a calculator, a camera, a video camera, a mini-computer, a TV, and a MP3 player." b "It's a calendar, a watch, a calculator, a camera, a video camera, a mini-computer, a TV, and a MP3 player." . . . "Using the internet for video calls means that people are able to communicate using their body language and facial expressions as well as their words. . . " c "The development of telephone technology has been truly incredible over the last twenty years." . . . "Telephone companies are still trying to figure out how they can benefit from these developments in technology." d "Video calls enable direct visual and oral communication." . . . "Using the internet for video calls means that people are able to communicate using their body language and facial expressions as well as their words"

Which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" best infers what will be fortunato's downfall? the gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode he had a weak point --this fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. he prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. "nitre," i replied. "how long have you had that cough? " "my friend, no; i will not impose upon your good nature. i perceive you have an engagement. luchresi--" which of the excerpts below is an example of foreshadowing? how remarkably well you are looking to-day. but i have received a pipe of what passes for amontillado… "i have my doubts," i replied; "and i was silly enough to pay the full amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. there were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honour of the time. i had told them that i should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. i broke and reached him a flagon of de grave. he emptied it at a breath. his eyes flashed with a fierce light. he laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation i did not understand. which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" best summarizes the overall theme of the story? "for the love of god, montresor! " "yes," i said, "for the love of god! " he had a weak point --this fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. he prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. a wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. it is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. he turned towards me, and looked into my eves with two filmy orbs that distilled the rheum of intoxication. which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" presents the reader with the initial conflict of the story? "i have my doubts," i replied; "and i was silly enough to pay the full amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. you were not to be found, and i was fearful of losing a bargain." the thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult i vowed revenge. he had a weak point --this fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. he prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. "the nitre! " i said; "see, it increases. it hangs like moss upon the vaults. we are below the river's bed. the drops of moisture trickle among the bones. come, we will go back ere it is too late. your cough --"
