Question

question 4 of 5
what events from \the black cat\ seem to prove the wifes superstition about
cats to be correct?

a. the narrator relates the tale of his life to the reader from his jail
cell as he waits to be executed.

b. the first black cat bites the narrators hand after the narrator grabs
him in anger.

c. a second black cat, very similar to the narrators first cat, appears
out of nowhere.

d. the narrator begins drinking heavily and physically abuses both
his wife and his pet cat.

Explanation:

In "The Black Cat," the wife believes black cats are bad luck. When a second black cat, similar to the first (which the narrator killed), appears out of nowhere, it seems to confirm her superstition. Option A is about the narrator's setting (jail cell) and not related to the superstition. Option B is an action of the cat (biting) but not a supernatural - like event to confirm superstition. Option D is about the narrator's actions (drinking and abuse) and not about the cat's role in confirming the superstition.

Answer:

C. A second black cat, very similar to the narrator's first cat, appears out of nowhere.
