Answer:
This passage is an example of an editorial
Explanation:
An editorial presents information and contains investigation and facts but it differs from the news story since it is biased and it has the purpose of appeal to the audience, here the writer will expose their point of view, based on the acquired and expressed information and it could have two styles it could be informative or entertaining.
I believe that your answer is the first option due to how late the crying is, and unlike in "The Tell-Tale Heart" where the heart is constant and represents the slow descent of madness, the cry of the cat only appears at the end.
The portion of the story where it shows the speaker's madness is actually his looking for and finding similarities in the second cat and wishing to kill it.
Hope this was helpful.
