The most accurate way to summarize the speaker's reaction to the House of Usher is that he feels intense gloom, utterly unrelieved by poetic considerations.

Option A

Explanation:

American writer called Edgar Allan Poe wrote a story about his childhood friend's illness and his arrival of his mansion. The story was named as ''The Fall of the House of Usher'' published in 1839 in “Burton's Gentleman's Magazine”.

In this story, we learned that the narrator and Usher were childhood friends the narrator described about his arrival on horseback at Rodrick Usher's free-standing house on a gloomy evening. Here the speaker smashes intense darkness, which does not completely eliminate poetic reasoning, and the first look at the building gave him a sense of the unbearable darkness that has permeated his spirit.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )

we need to see the paragraphs in order to answer this.
