The right answer is letter b: <em>the houses in both passages are described as having an air of rot, gloom and loneliness</em>.
Poe's character describes Mr. Roderick Usher's house as one he cannot help to consider a "melancholy view" where "there was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart" . Said house caused an "insufferable gloom" in the observer's spirit.
In a similar thread of thought, Bierce's tale about the Manton house describes its looks as sufficient to affirm it is<em> "haunted"</em>. He describes the house as <em>"slowly falling into decay"</em> as <em>"cobwebs weave in the angles of the walls like strips of rotting lace..."</em> all while standing <em>"a little way off the loneliest reach of the Marshall and Harriston road". </em>

Foster states that "The fact is that we can only love what we know personally" and adds that Tolerance "merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things." It has always been human condition to succumb to feelings of love for an activity, family, a significant other and reject what requires tolerance to the new or the unknown. Foster stands up for tolerance as the means of reconstructing and which might unite races and peoples from the world. Love is enjoying people, things, places, a pleasant state. Tolerance, on the contrary, is to try to love what you do not like. There are many an example or situation in our daily life. Foster says that tolerance is wanted in the queue, at the telephone, perhaps when the boy nobody likes in class participates and expresses his opinion. The attempt to tolerate people can make a meaningful difference.
