Read the first stanza of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

Which line from the stanza best supports the idea that the speaker wasn't expecting anyone to come by?


"Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—"


"While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,"

"As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door"

Answer:

"While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,"

Explanation:

key word if someone wasn't expecting something: "suddenly"

The line that supports the idea of the speaker not expecting anyone to come:

B). "While I nodded,...a tapping,"

The Raven

The above line most adequately backs the idea that the speaker had no expectations of anyone visiting him and thought to remain alone.

The Context clues like "suddenly...tapping" validates the claim that he was not expecting any visitor at that time and was having a nap but the sudden tapping made him wonder who it could be.

Therefore, the readers can find proof to establish the reliability of the claim in these lines the speaker was not awaiting anyone.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
