Respuesta :

Incorrect answer A. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.  These lines make reference to the time of the year when Leonore died, but it doesn't mention the presence of the raven at any moment.

Incorrect Answer B. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before. This lines show expectation towards the unknown is it the long gone Leonore as a ghost who´s there? it doesn't have any word that can be connected o related to the speakers grieve or the presence of the raven

 

Correct Answer C. "Leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!". Telling the raven to go away at the same time as he makes reference to the pain in his chest is a clear demonstration of the grief for Leonore, the use of exclamation marks encloses a strong and desperate feeling about the raven.

 

Incorrect answer D. Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many, a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. These lines give a descriptiuve writing of the entrance of the raven, nothing more.

Incorrect answer E. For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door. These lines show the speaker when he sees as a ghost himself or as a tortured and cursed soul by the presence of the crow
