Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his poem, "The Raven," Poe achieves a unifies effect of melancholy through the repetition of the word "nevermore."

In the poem, the speaker is depressed by the loss of his lover, Lenore and dreads that he will never see her again. This is why the word repeated by the raven causes so much pain and sadness in the speaker, and at the same time gives the poem an overall melancholly tone.
