Answer 1

The answer I believe is A

Answer 2

The most accurate way to summarize the speaker's reaction to the House of Usher is that he feels intense gloom, utterly unrelieved by poetic considerations.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

American writer called Edgar Allan Poe wrote a story about his childhood friend's illness and his arrival of his mansion. The story was named as ''The Fall of the House of Usher'' published in 1839 in “Burton's Gentleman's Magazine”.

In this story, we learned that the narrator and Usher were childhood friends the narrator described about his arrival on horseback at Rodrick Usher's free-standing house on a gloomy evening. Here the speaker smashes intense darkness, which does not completely eliminate poetic reasoning, and the first look at the building gave him a sense of the unbearable darkness that has permeated his spirit.
