This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

How do the setting and events of the passage most clearly work together to create the effects of Gothic literature?  

A. A vault said to hold a valuable type of wine provides the opportunity for the narrator to impress Fortunato.

B. The darkness of the crypt and the piles of bones it contains terrify Fortunato and add to his eventual panic.

C. The poor lighting, twisty architecture, and secrecy of the crypt allow the narrator to trap and torment Fortunato.

D. The religious imagery of the crypt causes the narrator to reconsider his actions in his final encounter with Fortunato.

 In the most general terms, Gothic literature can be defined as writing that employs dark and vivid landscapes, surprising and melodramatic narrative devices, and a general atmosphere of exoticism, mystery, fear, and dread.

The gothic literature (also called "dark") is sensationalist, melodramatic, exaggerates the characters and situations, moves in a supernatural framework that facilitates terror, mystery and horror.

The most common scenarios are usually a large old house that hides a dark secret.

These are some of the most common characteristics in Gothic literature:

  • Mystery and fear
  • Omens and curses
  • The atmosphere and surroundings
  • Supernatural and paranormal activity
  • The love
  • The villain
  • Emotional distress
  • The nigthmares
  • The anti-hero
  • The damsel in distress
