How does edgar allen poe raise suspense in "the raven"?
a. by worsening the storm as the poem progresses
b. by making the bird say more and more horrific things.
c. by having the wind blow out the candles in the chamber.
d. by repeating the tapping sound at the speakers door.

I think it is D. I could be mistaken though.

D.

Explanation:I have read this poem and studied it before,D seems like the best option because the tapping sound at the speakers door is suspenseful,and makes you wonder what is behind the door.Also,in the poem there is no storm,the raven does not say horrific things,and the window does not blow out any candles.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
