Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Berenice. It is a horror story by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the Southern Literary Messenger in 1835.

The narrator, Egaeus, prepares to marry his cousin, Berenice. Egaeus suffers strange attacks of self-absorption during which he seems to be completely isolated from the outside world. Berenice begins to deteriorate due to an unknown disease, until the only part of her body that seems to remain alive is her beautiful teeth, with which Egaeus begins to become obsessed. Berenice finally dies and he enters one of his trances. A servant interrupts him informing him that Berenice's grave has been desecrated. Egaeus is discovered covered in blood, and next to it, various dentist tools and a box containing 32 teeth, everything suggests that Berenice was buried alive.
