Which of the following statements provides the strongest Reasoning for this Claim and Evidence? One element found in the text is the idea of supernatural and unknown forces. The narrator states, "But the under surfaces of the huge masses of agitated vapor, as well as all terrestrial objects immediately around us, were glowing in the unnatural light of a faintly luminous and distinctly visible gaseous exhalation which hung about and enshrouded the mansion" (par.34)

• This shows how awful the weather was from the beginning of the story, since there was a weird fog around the whole house.

• The narrator describes the fog around the house as "unnatural", suggesting that this strange weather might be coming from a supernatural or unknown force.

• Usher was experiencing a lot of madness and mental anguish from the weather happening outside the mansion.

• With Roderick and Madeline being the last of the Usher line, the House of Usher would be isolated from the rest of the world in the fog.
