Question

Quiz Read the verse.
2. In this excerpt, what is the speaker saying the raven will do?
From "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
A It will befriend the speaker.
B it will leave the next day.
c it will leave immediately.
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke
only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did
outpour
Nothing farther then he uttered-not a feather then he
fluttered-
Tuli scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have
flown before
On the morrow, he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown
before,
Then the bird said, "Nevermore,
Dit will certainly die.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B).  It will leave the next day.

Explanation:

The poem 'Raven' penned by Edgar Allan Poe explores the theme of regret, mental uncertainty, death, and lost love. In the given excerpt, the speaker asserts that 'On the morrow, he will leave me' for the Raven and becomes completely despaired. He becomes completely dejected thinking that 'tomorrow Raven will also leave(die)' like the 'other friends of him along with his hopes have flown(died) before.'

The speaker longed to see his love 'Lenore' in heaven again but this 'nevermore' from the bird makes him accept that the Raven(sense of loss and grief) will stay with him forever. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
