Question

Read the first stanza from "The Raven." Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore– While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door– Only this and nothing more." Which best describes the scene that the author is setting through the use of imagery in the stanza?
a. The speaker is up late at night reading and hears a knocking sound.
b. The speaker is sleeping and is awakened by someone calling to him.
c. The speaker is reading a ghost story and imagines that he sees a ghost.
d. The speaker is napping and does not hear a visitor who taps on the door.

Answer 1

The answer is letter B - The speaker is sleeping and is awakened by someone calling to him.

When the speaker says, "While I nodded, nearly napping, ..." he is sleeping, because when you're about to sleep you'll usually nod your head back and forth right when you're drifting off.

Answer: Letter B
