Which TWO of the following quotes best support the description of the central idea? (9-10 RL.KID.1)
"'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door — / Only this and nothing more.'" (Lines 5-6)
"Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow / From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore — " (Lines 9-10)
"Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking / Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore — / What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore / Meant in croaking 'Nevermore.'" (Lines 69-72)
"Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer / Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor." (Lines 79-80)
"And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; / And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be lifted — nevermore!" (Lines 105-108)

How do the allusions, or references, made to Pallas (Athena) and Pluto (Hades) inform the character of the raven? (9-10 RL.KID.3 & 9-10 RL.CS.5)
These allusions make the raven seem otherworldly and informs his symbolic nature as a possible messenger from the afterlife.
These allusions imply that the raven is far more powerful than it at first seems and it is there to cast judgement on the speaker.
These allusions contribute to the raven's characterization as the speaker's punishment, as classical gods were often seen as cruel and petty.
These allusions remind the reader that the speaker is mentally unbalanced and mistaking a raven for a god.

Why does the speaker react poorly to the raven's response of "Nevermore" in stanzas 15-16? (9-10 RL.KID.3)
The speaker is unsettled by the raven's repetition of "Nevermore" because he believes the raven learned it from a depressed former master and intends to make him his new owner.
The speaker begs the raven to leave, to which the raven responds "Nevermore"; the speaker becomes frustrated in these stanzas as he attempts to make it leave.
In these stanzas, the speaker asks the raven if there is an afterlife and if he will be reunited with Lenore there, to which the raven answers "Nevermore"; the speaker takes these answers seriously and thus becomes upset.
The speaker is frustrated by the bird's catchphrase and begs it to stop talking.

Which TWO of the following quotes best embody how the imagery develops the supernatural atmosphere of the poem? (9-10 RL.KID.1 & 9-10 RL.CS.4)
"Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, / Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before." (Lines 31-32)
"Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; / But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door — " (Lines 39-40)
"Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; / Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking / Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore — "(Lines 68-70)
"Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer / Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor." (Lines 79-80)
"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting / On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; / And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor (Lines 103-106).

How does the overall use of repetition in the poem contribute to its mood? (9-10 RL.CS.5)
The poem's repetitive and rigid structure contrasts the speaker's declining mental state, thus contributing to the crazed mood of the poem.
The poem's repetition of the negative response "Nevermore" contributes to the lethargic and dispassionate mood of the poem.
The poem's use of repetition and alliteration creates a dreamy mood, as the author thinks of his love, Lenore.
The poem's use of repetition — namely the tapping, the narrator's calls for Lenore, and the raven's catchphrase of "Nevermore" — contributes to the overall suspenseful, eerie mood.
