Question

Where does the narrator meet Dupin for the first time? * 10 points (a) New York. (b) London. (c) Los Angeles. (d) Paris.

Answer 1

(d) Paris.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" revolves around the story of how Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin and how he solved the murder of Mademoiselle Camille and Madame L’Espanaye.

The author did not immediately introduce Dupin, but rather went on to discuss an analytic mind and talks about chess. The character of Mr. Dupin came in the fifth paragraph, with the lines "Residing in Paris during the spring and part of the summer of 18--, I there became acquainted with a Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin." This proves that the unnamed narrator met Dupin in Paris for the first time.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.
