Question

Which five words in this excerpt from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe create an ominous and spooky atmosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bleak, Dying, Ghost, Sorrow, Vainly

Explanation:

Since an ominous and spooky atmosphere would be most likely a mood that gives you the sensation of something bad, unpleasant, and sinister, the chosen words seem to fit. Death, unlife, sorrow, and pointless efforts (actions that were in vain) are all very unpleasant concepts.

dying

ghost

vainly

sorrow
