Question

how does the narrator react to his glimpse of usher’s sister? a. he is delighted and intrigued. b. he is concerned and confused. c. he is calm and curious. d. he is shocked and frightened.

Explanation:

In "The Fall of the House of Usher", when the narrator glimpses Usher’s sister (Madeline) during the storm, his reaction is one of shock and fright. The eerie and supernatural context, along with the sudden and disturbing sight, elicits a sense of horror and fear. Option A (delighted/intrigued) is incorrect as the scene is not pleasant or interesting in a positive way. Option B (concerned/confused) doesn't capture the intense fear. Option C (calm/curious) is wrong as the moment is unsettling, not calm. Option D matches the narrator's shocked and frightened response.

Answer:

D. He is shocked and frightened.
