<span>The correct asnwer is B, helplessness.
The repetition of the phrase "still is sitting" shows that the speaker is helpless to get the Raven to leave. Just as the speaker cannot make the Raven leave him, he is also unable to get over his grief at losing his true love. He will forever be grieving, and the Raven will forever sit above his chamber door.
Therefore, the mood created in this scene is one of helplessness. </span>
Borges's story The Garden of Forking Paths can be considered to be a three dimensional chess game for a variety of reasons. First, like a game of chess, a nearly infinite number of possible outcomes are proposed through the story (just as how a chess game can allow for a variety of different outcomes). Also, chess is a game of choice, just as the Garden of Forking Paths - both the story itself and the novel of the same titles mentioned in the story - allows for the reader to, in essence, choose their own design and strategy. Furthermore, the lead character\protagonist in the story is manipulating events throughout the story to, in essence, score a "checkmate."
A. Readers gain insight into the narrator's belief that he is possessed by a demon.
This is the best option because the passage describes how he believes he has been possessed by a demon. From this passage, we don't actually know what happens once he is possessed. Option B says that it gives a reason for the narrator's behavior, but we don't know what that behavior is to make this a correct choice. Option C is wrong because first person invites us in to the narrator's mind. It doesn't not keep us at a distance. Option D is also not correct because we don't know anything about his treatment of a cat from this passage.
