Question

and the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
on the pallid bust of pallas just above my chamber door;
and his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is
dreaming
and the lamp - light o’er him streaming throws his
shadows on the floor;
and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on
the floor
shall be lifted – nevermore!
——\the raven,\

what mood is created by the sound devices in the
poem’s final stanza?
○ dreamy
○ gloomy
○ bored
○ haunting

Explanation:

To determine the mood, analyze the sound devices (like repetition, rhyme) and imagery. The raven's demon - like eyes, the shadow, and "nevermore" create a sense of something that lingers and is unsettling. "Haunting" fits as the shadow and the raven's presence imply a lingering, eerie feeling that stays with the speaker. "Dreamy" is too light, "gloomy" is less about lingering presence, and "bored" is incorrect.

Answer:

D. haunting
