Answer:

The speaker will never see lenore again ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!

By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore

Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,

It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—

Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

( Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,

It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore )

Aiden is another word for Paradise ( Heaven ) So in another words the speaker asks will he unite again with Lenore in Heaven ? So to quote the Raven "Nevermore"

( you have so many great questions )
