Select the correct text(s) in the passage.
Which three parts of this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy
in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering?
The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous, Blood was its Avatar and its seal the
redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The
scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the
sympathy of his fellow.men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.
But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were hall depopulated, he summoned to his presence a
thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights
and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of
his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and
torty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the
bolts. They resolved to leave means neither of
of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was
amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid deliance to contagion
The e
external world could take care or itselt. In the
meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances or pleasure. There were buffoons, there were
improvisatori, there were ballet dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within Without
was the "Red Death."
It was towards the close of the ninth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince
Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence
