As part of mercantilism, England listed special products from the colonies that could be sold only to British merchants. These special, or "enumerated," products were sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo, and later rice, molasses, naval stores (tar, pitch, etc.), furs, and iron. English merchants were allowed to sell those goods to whoever they choose as long as they were first taken to England or Scotland where a tariff (tax) would be added to them. For example, if a Virginian planter wished to sell his tobacco, he could only sell it to an English merchant. The English merchant then had to take it to England, pay taxes on it there, and then sell it to whomever. According to the text, which of the following was NOT a characteristic of enumerated goods?
A. They could only be sold to colonists

B. Special taxes were added to them before being sold

C. The goods had to be taken to England before being sold

D. They could only be sold to British merchants

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "the fall of the house of usher" by edgar allan poe? i looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which i can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. there was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. what was it—i paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the house of usher? it was a mystery all insoluble; nor could i grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as i pondered. i was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. it was possible, i reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, i reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows. admiration terror hope discovery loss
