Explanation:

To determine the correct use of quotation marks, we follow the rule that the title of a literary work (like a short story, here "The Fall of the House of Usher") should be enclosed in quotation marks. The other options either enclose incorrect parts (like a non - title phrase or an incorrect part of the sentence) or use quotation marks inappropriately. The first option encloses the title of the story correctly.

Answer:

A. Last week, Brian read "The Fall of the House of Usher" before his shift at the ice cream shop.
