From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul i
n that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered— Till I scarcely more than muttered, “Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said, “Nevermore.” In this excerpt, what is the speaker saying the raven will do?
The correct answer is "It will leave the next day"
Explanation:
The part of the extract where the speaker suggests the Raven will leave the next day is: "Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”. In this quote, the speaker explains how important people in is life (such as friends) have left him alone in the past, and he believes the bird will leave him too. The words the speaker uses to specifically make reference to the raven leaving the next day are "on the morrow he will leave me", where "morrow" means "in the morning".
