In the manner of my friend i was at once struck with an incoherence—an inconsistency; and i soon found this to arise from a series of feeble and futile struggles to overcome an habitual trepidancy—an excessive nervous agitation. for something of this nature i had indeed been prepared, no less by his letter, than by reminiscences of certain boyish traits, and by conclusions deduced from his peculiar physical conformation and temperament. his action was alternately vivacious and sullen. his voice varied rapidly from a tremulous indecision to that species of energetic concision—that abrupt, weighty, unhurried, and hollow-sounding enunciation—that leaden, self-balanced and perfectly modulated guttural utterance. 1bored (i don't know if this would ) which of the following descriptions does poe use to directly illustrate the “incoherence” and “inconsistency” of usher? a. suffered to grow all unheeded b. his voice varied rapidly c. ghastly pallor of the skin d. a cadaverousness of complexion

B.His voice varied rapidly

The question asks about Poe DIRECTLY illustrating the "incoherence" and "inconsistency". When an author directly states something, it is not described, but rather just stated. In option B, Poe specifically says that his voice varied rapidly instead of showing how his voice varied. Options C and D describe how he looked, but this doesn't show incoherence or inconsistency. Also A does not work either.

check this quizlet it might have the answer

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
