Question

I had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity -- an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the gray wall, and the silent tarn -- a pestilent and mystic vapor.
Which observation can be made about the narrator?

A. He seems unsettled and paranoid.
B. He seems sensitive and spiritual.
C. He seems creative and fanciful.
D. He seems frustrated and angry.

Answer 1

The narrator seems unsettled and paranoid (A).

The narrator describes the atmosphere of the mansion as strange. It reminds him of decaying things and reminded him of hell, rather than heaven. This made the narrator feel unsettled while in the mansion and also caused him to be paranoid of the things that could happen there.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) He seems unsettled and paranoid. I just took the quiz and this is the right answer.
