In the story "tell-tale heart," the narrator claims he is not mad because a.) he didn't really kill anybody. b.) he can calmly tell the story. c.) he loved the old man. d.) none of the above

I'm pretty sure it's C, he loved the old man, because it was true, he did love the old man, he just hated his eye. He wanted to destroy the evil in the old man's eye but not the man.

The correct answer is C. He can calmy tell the story. In the story "Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator claims he is not mad because his actions are extremely well thought out to have been done by a mad man.

He accepts that” I loved the old man. He had never wronged me”.Yet, He never denies killing the old man, moreover he takes time to explain his reasons for the horrible deed.

the third paragraph is your answer,

"but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
