The masque of the red death is an allegory for
a. the futility of trying to evade death
b. the good that comes from having faith in god
c. the contrast between the wealthy and the poor
d. the strength a community can show during trying times

it would be d because the however is more proper and the comma is placed in the right spot

in the following paragraph, the fourth sentence the correct answer is: three personal subject pronouns

”she was embarrassed when she found that they had been put back on the shelves…”

a   subject pronoun is a personal pronoun. i, you, he, she it, we, they.  

in the sentence it can be observed she, used twice and they used once. is for this reason that is a three personal subject pronoun sentence.
