To determine the words in the paragraph that best support the idea of a violent act of revenge, look for phrases or descriptions that portray a sense of aggression or harm. In this case, the following words support the idea of a violent act of revenge:
1. "injuries" - This word implies harm or physical damage, suggesting a violent nature to the act of revenge.
2. "punish" - The word "punish" typically conveys the idea of inflicting pain or retribution, reinforcing the notion of violence.
3. "with impunity" - This phrase suggests that there will be no consequences or punishment for the act of revenge, indicating the potential for extreme or violent actions.
To address the second question, the phrase "You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat" does not specifically support the idea that the act of revenge will be unexpected. This statement conveys that the narrator does not need to verbally express their intention to take revenge, as they expect the person they are addressing to understand it without any explicit words. To find words that support the unexpected nature of the act of revenge, there may not be any specific words in this paragraph. However, if you consider the overall atmosphere created by the narrator's secretive and cautious tone, it conveys a sense of unexpectedness because the act of revenge is resolved so definitively that it precludes the idea of risk.
