Read this passage from "The Black Cat":
The officers bade me accompany them in their search.
They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the
third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I
quivered not in a muscle. My heart beat calmly as that of
one who slumbers in innocence. I walked the cellar from
end to end. I folded my arms upon my bosom, and roamed
easily to and fro. The police were thoroughly satisfied and
prepared to depart.
What effect does Poe's use of short sentences have on the pacing of this
passage?
O A. It causes the reader to question the accuracy of the narrator's
version of events.
OB. It establishes a slow buildup to the climax of the story.
O C. It creates the effect of time passing quickly in the story.
D. It allows the reader a chance to review events in the story.

Answer: C

Explanation:

It creates the effect of time passing quickly in the story. Therefore option C is the correct response.

Edgar Allan Poe, an American author, wrote a short story titled "The Black Cat." It was initially printed in The Saturday Evening Post on August 19, 1843. An unidentified narrator of the narrative initially feels deeply for animals before turning to mistreat them.

Poe's "The Black Cat" has a narrator without regret, empathy, or conscience who manipulates and deceives everyone around him due to his impulsive, egotistical mentality, a trait known as psychopathy.

A black cat inherently represents guile, thus Poe's statement that he gets angry when he sees one gives the reader the impression that the black cat in the short story likewise represents evil. Poe employs imagery and symbolism throughout his work to influence the tone of the narrative as a whole.
