Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

yolo man xD

Answer 6

Basically, the poem is about a man whose sitting alone in his house. His love has died and he is mourning her loss. A raven shows up at the door and the man begins to dialogue with the raven about his lost love, Lenore. He starts asking the raven questions, wondering if he will ever get over Lenore or if he will see her again. The raven's only response is "Nevermore".

Answer 7

~~ Internet source. ~~

Answer 8

Well, its ludicrous but ostensibly A is correct.

Answer 9

i understand that part somewhat, haha but i dont really get this question.

Answer 10

B seems adverse to the theme.

Answer 11

The poem does not provide factual evidence in support of C.

Answer 12

D is illogical yet the most likely answer.

Answer 13

Such is but my humble perspective, after-all.

Answer 14

i feel like D is the answer?

Answer 15

Such is my aspersion.

Answer 16

im sorry i dont want to sound straight out dumb but some of your words are above my vocabulary.

Answer 17

A thousand apologies for my arrogance.

Answer 18

I think the answer is D.

Answer 19

No, D is not the answer. Consider what's happening in the piece - a man is mourning the loss of his lover

Answer 20

Wait what? @zergog

Answer 21

yeah but the bad feeling goes away because he has the companion bird to distract him and dissipate his lacrimosity

Answer 22

No, he doesn't. Despite everything the man asks the raven, the raven only replies "nevermore"... he's not much of a companion. :)

Answer 23

lol but isnt it surprising that a bird says something, even in literature of fiction

Answer 24

i mean if a bird started talking to me i'd be pretty surprised to say at the least

Answer 25

:)

Answer 26

i say D because its surprising and unusual and etc etc for such to occur
