In Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Fall of the House of Usher, Roderick Usher writes his childhood friend a letter informing his friend about his illness. Roderick's sister is also ill and he is worried about her, as well. He developed an abnormal behavior and started to think that the mansion they live controls him and it will eventually bring his end. As we can observe, Usher is physically and mentally ill and wants a help from his childhood friend. The correct answer is C.
The first article is about the promotion of a lady from Seattle to an important position at a private company. The fact that the article begins by the sentence “the news is out!” implies up front that it is an important event for its readers and that apparently this lady is an influential and respected member of the community and that this promotion is beneficial for it and for the lady herself.
The second article is obviously a news report on a police investigation. It starts with the mention of “two witnesses”, implying that they were witnesses to a crime, which is confirmed immediately after the opening line. The crime itself has a name (Grand Forks robbery) which demonstrates that the crime was a serious and had dramatic repercussions for the community where it occurred. Even the police official who is interviewed by the press holds an important rank which further underscores the gravity of the offense.
