What can be inferred from the following passage:

“[Ophelia] Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide,

And mermaid-like a while they bore her up,

Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds

As one incapable of her own distress,

Or like a creature native and indued

Unto that element.”

• Ophelia kills herself

• Ophelia does not mind that she fell into the water

• Ophelia turns into a mermaid after falling in the water

What can be inferred from the following passage:

“In this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a sojourn of some weeks. Its proprietor, Roderick Usher, had been one of my boon companions in boyhood; but many years had elapsed since our last meeting. A letter, however, had lately reached me in a distant part of the country – a letter from him – which, in its wildly importunate nature, had admitted of no other than a personal reply.”

• The narrator feels a strong connection to Usher

• Usher is very sick

• The narrator is only stopping by for a short time

What can be inferred from the following passage:

“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.”

•  Humans have discovered life on other planets

• Humans are selfish

•  Humans are slowly dying out
