Answer:

Discovery.

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a horror story about how a family's house falls, literally and figuratively. The unnamed narrator takes us through what happened, dealing with themes of supernatural elements, incest, and evil.

Based on the given excerpt, the unnamed narrator is giving us a 'tour' of what the House of Usher looks like. In giving us the scene, <em>"the bleak walls [. . .] vacant eye-like windows" </em>presents us the visual of how the scene looks. This gives the tone of discovery, the discovery of what the house seems/ looks like. He also went on describing what he feels on looking at the view in front of him. He also stated that <em>"It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered"</em>. All these observations constitute the feeling of discovering what is ahead, in front of him.

Which piece of evidence in "Immigration and Ellis Island" supports the opinion that Europeans came to the United States primaril
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The author uses as evidence the fact that many immigrants were fleeing poverty in their countries of origin, which presented few job opportunities, unlike the USA.

Explanation:

"Immigration and Ellis Island" shows how, despite the fact that many immigrants in the USA were looking for a way to exercise their religions without suffering persecution, most of them were fleeing poverty and saw in the USA a way to improve their economic conditions. This is because their countries of origin, most of them located in eastern and southern Europe, presented few job opportunities, leaving many of them in a situation of misery. However, the USA had high industrialization and employment opportunities.
