Read the excerpt from Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher." For several days ensuing, her name was unmentioned by either Usher or myself: and during this period I was busied in earnest endeavours to alleviate the melancholy of my friend. What does this excerpt reveal about the narrator of the story?

The narrator describes events that occur during the story: Usher and he do not mention her, and the narrator tries to ease his friend’s melancholy. These are experiences and actions within the narrative, not information from the narrator’s past or an inference about what might be happening. The correct choice is “It describes what the narrator experiences in the story.”
