Hello. You did not say which Poe text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately and specifically, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
In general, the monologues of Poe's characters point out that people who commit cruel crimes have a strong mental imbalance. These monologues always present awkward motives for the execution of these crimes and present delusional, unbalanced and uncontrolled characters.
It should be D, though C does make sense as well. However, when I study Literature at school and I'm asked to use the active reading strategies, it's so that we can get a deeper analysis of the reading.
Priest Chryses came to Agamemnon wanting to redeem his daughter, whom Agamemnon took as her mistress.
Agamemnon refuses to bring his daughter back to Christ and Chris goes to Apollo in tears. He promises to build him a temple if he punishes the Achaeans.
Apollo obeys Chryses and starts shooting at animals first and then people. The arrows fell on the Achaeans for nine days, and whoever was struck by the arrow would be afflicted with the plague.
