The effect that this response has on the speaker is that the speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness. 
The raven is constantly repeating the same word - nevermore. In the beginning, the narrator just thought it was a weird coincidence that the bird should say that one single word, but as time passes by, the weight of that word becomes unbearable as the narrator realizes that this word can be applied to all of his questions. So as time goes by, the narrator becomes more and more depressed about not being allowed to see his beloved and thus he falls into madness.

In birches the author uses the phrase shed crystal shells to describe
Anna [14]

Answer:

B. The Ice Cracking Off Of The Trees.

Explanation:

The Birches is a poem where the author describes the reality of adulthood, “swinging birches” is the escape to that. Before he says “Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells” he is explaining and comparing the fact that childhood doesn’t stay long as –ice storms- , and then here comes the description, when the sun arises, the ice cracks off the trees. The other three options cannot be possible as they are completely out of context, the poem does not talk about –glass figurines, rocks or beaches-.
