Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) It suggests the narrator traveled without thinking of the time.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in these introductory lines from "The Fall of the House of Usher," which Poe first published in 1839, it is possible to infer that the narrator had been traveling for a while ("during a whole day") and, suddenly, he found himself near his destination, his friend's house. There are no indications of him being lost or angry, so options B and D can be discarded. In addition, the syntax does not suggest a magical component, since he uses adjectives such as "dull," "soundless," and "dreary" to describe his journey and what he encountered along it, and those words do not suggest a magical setting.
