Read the following excerpt from “the cask of amontillado” and answer the question, in the passage

D) Setting.

Explanation: The setting of a story or a text is the place and time where the story takes place, it can also be the context of the story (political, historical, cultural, etc). In the given excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" we can see the description of a place, specifically a crypt. We can see detailed descriptions like "Its walls had been lined with human remains" and "Three sides of this interior crypt were still ornamented in this manner."

Haphazardly.

Explanation: The word "promiscuously" is used playfully here only to illustrate that the bones were spread rather chaotically across the floor. No allusion is made here to disorderly sexual conduct (which would make options "immoral" and "impure" viable), while "systematically" is opposite in meaning.

In this excerpt, the focus is clearly to provide a vivid visual representation of where the actions are taking place. The author indicates several details about the scenery functioning as backdrop, also inserting hints of a somber tone into the narrative. Often the setting of a story plays an extremely important role in how the characters and actions are developed, or it can even function as a character itself, presenting the protagonists with specific difficulties and conditioning.

The meaning of the underlined word "promiscuously" as it is used in the passage is the following one:

Haphazardly.

Explanation:

If the bones lay "promiscuously" upon the earth, it means they did not lay there in a particular order, that is, they were simply thrown there in a completely random way. In other words, the bones lay "haphazardly" upon the earth.

Considering the narrator is talking about catacombs I would assume that they were trying to create suspense

I believe the answer would be Rising action because the suspense (the "horrid" descriptions of the chamber) is slowly building up to the climax in which there would be a resolution to the conflict.

(I have read "The Cask of Amontillado" before)

I think the answer is suspense
