Read the excerpt from “the oval portrait,” by edgar allan poe. the chateau into which my valet had ventured to make forcible entrance, rather than permit me, in my desperately wounded condition, to pass a night in the open air, was one of those piles of commingled gloom and grandeur which have so long frowned among the appennines, not less in fact than in the fancy of mrs. radcliffe. to all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned. we established ourselves in one of the smallest and least sumptuously furnished apartments. it lay in a remote turret of the building. which statement best describes the effect of the narration on the story? a)the narration establishes an historically significant setting. b)the narration establishes a lavish, impressive setting. c)the narration establishes a forsaken, foreboding setting. d)the narration establishes a dangerous, condemned setting.

The answer is: B) The narration establishes a lavish, impressive setting. Starting with the mountain setting (The Apennines), the narrator describes the whole place as a chateau that can be described as "one of those piles of commingled gloom and grandeur", taking one of the more discreet and less luxurious apartment as their quarters for the night.

C)The narration establishes a forsaken, foreboding setting.

Explanation:

As you can read in the excerpt the apartment that the author is describing is described as "To all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned" which basically means forsaken, someone had abandoned the place and was in state of abandon, this is how thw author tries to establish a foreboding setting, by telling the audience that the apartment was abandoned.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
