The raven refuses to help the speaker understand why Lenore is gone.

Respuesta :

The correct answer should be - The raven replies, “Nevermore,” when the speaker asks if he will see Lenore in heaven.
The poet isn't mad about the bird tapping at the bust of Palas; he understands why Lenore is gone but he doesn't understand why he cannot see her again; the raven didn't fly out of the house - the poet says that the bird 'still is sitting.' What is bugging the narrator is that he will never get to see Lenore again, and the bird confirmed his suspicions. 

Answer:

A. The raven replies, “Nevermore,” when the speaker asks if he will see Lenore in heaven.
