Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A) increases the element of horror in the narratives.

Explanation:

Both stories were written by American author and poet Edgar Allan Poe, and both talk are considered as horror stories (one of the main themes in Poe's works.) First one is the story of a crime and how it forces the narrator to tell the truth; the second one tells the story of a guy who kills a black cat, and then a second one appears and leads the story to horrible events.

Letter B is incorrect since both characters show human emotions (love and dying good); C is also wrong since these stories are solemn and don't get enough space for a comic relief; letter D is also incorrect since the stories are narrated from the first point of view. Letter A is correct since it shows how deep the emotions were in both narrators, and that their actions were considered from their deepest thoughts and were not just impulsive actions.
