One morning, in cool blood, i slipped a noose about its neck and hung it to the limb of a tree; - hung it with the tears streaming from my eyes, and with the tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest remorse at my heart;   - hung it because i knew that it loved me, and because i felt it had given me no reason of offence; - hung it because i knew that in so doing i was committing a sin -- a deadly sin that would so jeopardize my immortal soul as to place it -- if such a thing were possible -- even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the most merciful and most terrible god.  what effect does the narrator create by repeating the phrase "hung it"? a) it increases the violence of the action and the highlights its importanceb) it encourages the reader to sympathize with the narrator and his emotions  c) it allows the reader to understand the reason behind the narrator'r actionsd)  it the reader to feel sorry for the cat and what it had to endure
