Explanation:

• "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe: The narrator is haunted by the memory of his lost love Lenore. The raven's repeated "Nevermore" intensifies his grief and obsession. There are supernatural elements (a talking raven).
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë: Heathcliff is haunted by the memory of Catherine. His love is obsessive. There are supernatural elements (ghosts). The themes of grief, sorrow, and obsessive love are present in both works.
• Option 2: "True and everlasting love" is not the main theme. The love in both works is more complex (obsessive, tied to loss).
• Option 3: "Every character" is an over - generalization. Not every character in "Wuthering Heights" is sorrowful due to unfulfilled desire (e.g., some characters are more manipulative).
• Option 4: While "haunting" is present, the more encompassing themes are grief, sorrow, and obsessive love.

Answer:

A. Both works contain supernatural elements; they're about grief, sorrow, and obsessive love.
