Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe is widely acknowledged for his narratives filled with macabre and thrill. His poetry and tales occupied with mystery and enigma that fascinated the audience to read. He, however, suffered a struggling life due to financial instability, but he paved the way for his descendants by introducing the 'detective fiction' genre and also laid the foundation for 'science fiction'. He further established his own distinct style of literary criticism despite having such an arduous life. Thus, option A is the correct answer as he truly could be considered as a legacy in himself who established a strong ground for his offsprings(writers).

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
