Use the words in a paragraph that indicates that you know the meaning: rhetoric, analyze, indulge, insidious, extenuating.

Answer:

Under the extenuating circumstances following the death of Elijah's parents, the detectives decided to wait to post pone questioning Elijah. The death of his parents were insidious indeed, and many had reason to suspect the boy. On the night of his parent's death, Elijah was presumably at his friend Terry's house for a party. Later intel suggested that Terry was with his parents out of town that night, and had not seen Elijah recently. This led the detectives to ponder why Elijah would lie about his whereabouts. The detectives did not allow themselves to indulge in any outlandish hypotheses until they got a full statement from Elijah. Detective Tom did have a chance to analyze Elijah prior to the set interrogation, and he noticed strange tendencies. Elijah would rapidly tap his foot when the topic of his friend Terry came up. He would avert his eyes to the left when asked to describe his day prior to his parent's being murdered. The signs were small, almost passable, but they were there.

extenuating: derving to lessen the offense

insidious: deceitful, treacherous

analyze: to study

indulge: to allow oneself to take pleasure

rhetoric: persuasive

simile or metaphor???

Read the excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart.”

I smiled,—for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search—search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.

The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things.

Read the excerpt from "The Black Cat.”

Upon the fourth day of the assassination, a party of the police came, very unexpectedly, into the house, and proceeded again to make rigorous investigation of the premises. Secure, however, in the inscrutability of my place of concealment, I felt no embarrassment whatever. The officers bade me accompany them in their search. They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I quivered not in a muscle. My heart beat calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence. I walked the cellar from end to end. I folded my arms upon my bosom, and roamed easily to and fro. The police were thoroughly satisfied and prepared to depart. The glee at my heart was too strong to be restrained. I burned to say if but one word, by way of triumph, and to render doubly sure their assurance of my guiltlessness.
