Read the excerpt from Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher." I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in the unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down -- but with a shudder even more thrilling than before -- upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge. How does this excerpt provide information about the narrator of the story?
Answer
A
It provides a criticism voiced by the narrator.
B
It describes what the narrator experiences in the story.
C
It provides an inference drawn by the narrator.
D
It describes what the narrator knows from his past.
Explanation
The narrator describes a specific moment in the story: he reins in his horse, looks down into the tarn, and feels a shudder. These are events and sensations he directly experiences, so the excerpt shows what the narrator experiences in the story. It does not recount his past or present a criticism.
