Read the excerpt from "the lady maid's bell."
i had been near a week at brympton before i saw my master. word came that he was arriving one afternoon, and a change passed over the whole household. it was plain that nobody loved him below stairs. mrs. blinder took uncommon care with the dinner that night, but she snapped at the kitchen-maid in a way quite unusual with her; and mr. wace, the butler, a serious, slow-spoken man, went about his duties as if he'd been getting ready for a funeral. he was a great bible-reader, mr. wace was, and had a beautiful assortment of texts at his command; but that day he used such dreadful language that i was about to leave the table, when he assured me it was all out of isaiah; and i noticed that whenever the master came mr. wace took to the prophets.
which best describes a gothic element in the excerpt and the social attitude it reveals?
a. the arrival of mr. brympton causes fear, revealing that men are powerful in the world.
b. mrs. blinder prepares a dinner well, revealing that cooking is considered the highest art.
c. mr. wace reads the bible, revealing that religion is no longer a respected institution.
d. the servants do not like the master, revealing that having servants is no longer acceptable.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
