Which two sentences contribute to the overall eerie mood of the adapted excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar A

llan Poe?
In this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a stay of some weeks. Its proprietor, Roderick Usher, had been one of my closest friends in boyhood. But many years had passed since our last meeting.
A letter, however, had lately reached me in a distant part of the country. A letter from him, which, in its wildly insistent nature, had allowed no other than a personal reply.
The handwriting gave evidence of nervous agitation. The writer spoke of a kind of illness--of a disorder which oppressed him--and of an earnest desire to see me.
As his best and indeed his only personal friend, with a view of attempting, by the cheerfulness of my society, to provide some relief from his malady.

Answer:

In this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a stay of some weeks.

The writer spoke of a kind of illness--of a disorder which oppressed him--and of an earnest desire to see me.

Explanation:

These two sentences contribute to the overall eerie mood that we find in this text of "The Fall of the House of Usher." In the first sentence, the author talks about a "mansion of gloom." This conveys the idea of a house that is old, abandoned, or that promises something terrible. The second sentence tells us that the author of the letter is "oppressed" by a disorder and desperate to see the speaker. This also appears to be a premonition of something terrible to come. Both of these give an eerie mood to the text.

Which of the following sentences uses commas correctly?
Nesterboy [21]

It is important to remember that commas are not merely pauses within a sentence, a mistake that is often made and which leads to writing issues. A comma is also a punctuation mark that is used to separate clauses, or ideas and that helps connect them without having to use periods all the time. Commas, according to rules, must be used in the following cases: before using coordinating conjunctions, such as but, and or for, after dependent clauses that begin a sentence, to separate series within a sentence, when you are going to use a clause that clarifies a word, or an idea before it, after introductory adverbs, such as Finally, before a quotation, when setting dates (day, month, year), when using the city-state combinations, after a freestanding word, like no, when you address something or someone directly in a text, between adjectives that modify a noun, among others. In this case, the correct answer is A, because the commas separate the main subject, Mother, the dependent clause in the middle, the main idea, which is that the subject works late and then in between the main idea and its dependent clause, which is that they eat supper at 8 because the mother works late.
