The right answer is letter b: <em>the houses in both passages are described as having an air of rot, gloom and loneliness</em>.  

Poe's character describes Mr. Roderick Usher's house as one he cannot help to consider a "melancholy view" where "there  was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart" . Said house caused an "insufferable gloom" in the observer's spirit.


In a similar thread of thought, Bierce's tale about the Manton house describes its looks as sufficient to affirm it is<em> "haunted"</em>. He describes the house as <em>"slowly falling into decay"</em> as <em>"cobwebs weave in the angles of the walls like strips of rotting lace..."</em> all while standing <em>"a little way off the loneliest reach of the Marshall and Harriston road". </em>

<span>Although I would act cheerful and jovial, my cover could have easily blown if I had gotten too scared of the white men. I would have tried my best not to flinch because of an action that a white man made, and try to finish the classroom. So I wouldn't have had the time to ponder a plan to make the white men leave the classroom or make them do something so they would leave. If that plan failed and if something happened, which would have led to my lessons being exposed, I would act as if I am timid, while deep down inside of me I would have had an outrageous outburst.

I hope this helps! :)
