Read the excerpt from a short story. the beach teemed with tourists from boardwalk to shore. a canopy of colorful umbrellas covered the sand. each was preoccupied with his own happy task, and none noticed the figure as it emerged from the surf. its skin was blistered and raw, and it lumbered awkwardly in the foam. its hideous eyes hungrily appraised the masses. how does the excerpt exemplify the ideas king describes in "danse macabre"? it allows readers to approach a “forbidden door." it provides a “single powerful spectacle" for the imagination’s eye. it forces readers to “grapple" with their own mortality. it introduces an unlikely “dancing partner."

I believe the answer is 'It provides a “single powerful spectacle" for the imagination’s eye. '

I could be wrong though

It provides a “single powerful spectacle" for the imagination’s eye.

In this excerpt, the author is showing us a horrifying image. He tells us of a beach that was full of tourists, all happy and relaxed, enjoying the holidays. However, not far from this place, there was an ugly creature hungrily watching them. This is a single, clear and vivid image. It stimulates the mind of the reader without overwhelming it. It is also an extremely powerful spectacle. Therefore, the right answer is option B.

the third answer is right : )

i hope this you with your work! : )

b would have to be the answer
