the more sensable choice would be B bc the darkness of the speaker will forever haunt his or her which would represent the raven

Answer:

B) The speaker will be haunted by the raven forever.

Step-by-step explanation:

The storyteller is grieving the loss of his affection, Lenore, and now he feels that this raven will abandon him as well, similarly as she did. In any case, the raven's "Nevermore" suggests that he will never leave the storyteller. Further, however the winged creature is "as yet flabbergasting all tragic extravagant into grinning," the storyteller portrays it as "dreary, awkward, unpleasant, skinny and foreboding."

He next deciphers the raven as a "relief" from his distresses and an opportunity to overlook for a little while, yet the raven says, "Nevermore," which the storyteller translates as a case that he will never have the capacity to overlook his distresses. Now, he shouts at the fowl, considering it a "thing of abhorrence," and he inquires as to whether there is any opportunity that he will meet Lenore in "the far off Aidenn" (Paradise or paradise). The raven's "Nevermore" presently dashes the storyteller's expectations that he may some time or another be brought together with his affection.
