Read the excerpt from “the oval portrait,” by edgar allan poe. the chateau into which my valet had ventured to make forcible entrance, rather than permit me, in my desperately wounded condition, to pass a night in the open air, was one of those piles of commingled gloom and grandeur which have so long frowned among the appennines, not less in fact than in the fancy of mrs. radcliffe. to all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned. we established ourselves in one of the smallest and least sumptuously furnished apartments. it lay in a remote turret of the building. which statement best describes the effect of the narration on the story? a)the narration establishes an historically significant setting. b)the narration establishes a lavish, impressive setting. c)the narration establishes a forsaken, foreboding setting. d)the narration establishes a dangerous, condemned setting.

The answer is: B) The narration establishes a lavish, impressive setting. Starting with the mountain setting (The Apennines), the narrator describes the whole place as a chateau that can be described as "one of those piles of commingled gloom and grandeur", taking one of the more discreet and less luxurious apartment as their quarters for the night.

C)The narration establishes a forsaken, foreboding setting.

Explanation:

As you can read in the excerpt the apartment that the author is describing is described as "To all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned" which basically means forsaken, someone had abandoned the place and was in state of abandon, this is how thw author tries to establish a foreboding setting, by telling the audience that the apartment was abandoned.
