Read the sentence from "the masque of the red death." what does the word revel mean? and the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock. a. wild celebration b. an appearance c. a party hat d. a type of dance

a. Wild celebration

A revel is a wild celebration. Your context clue here is the detail that it went "whirlingly on". This gives the image that things are spinning and it is something that could end at midnight. An party hat doesn't end at midnight. A type of dance is something that can spin, but it usually doesn't continue on until midnight. A specific dance type usually only last for a few minutes. An appearance does not make sense.

i cannot see any of the options
