Introduction to Mystery and Suspense: "The Raven"

Question 9 • S1S: English 9B (E2112 - AG)

Read this stanza from "The Raven."Then the ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore–Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Answer
A
sight and sound.
B
smell and taste.
C
sight and touch.
D
sound and touch.

Explanation

The stanza appeals to sight through visual descriptions such as the raven’s “ebony” appearance and its “countenance.” It appeals to sound through the speaker’s words and the raven’s spoken reply, “Nevermore.” So the senses used are sight and sound.
