Read the excerpt from Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher." Its evidence - the evidence of the sentience -- was to be seen, he said, (and here I started as he spoke,) in the gradual
yet certain condensation of an atmosphere of their own about the waters and the walls. The result was discoverable,
he added, in that silent, yet importunate and terrible influence which for centuries had moulded the destinies of his
family, and which made him what I now saw him -- what he was. Such opinions need no comment, and I will make
none.
Based on this excerpt, the narrator seems
supportive of Usher's theory.
skeptical of Usher's theory.
curious about the history of the house.
analytical about the history of the house.

B). Skeptical of Usher's theory.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from 'The Fall of the House of Usher', Poe seems 'skeptical of Usher's theory' which is clearly reflected through his non-supportive attitude(reflected by the phrases like 'the evidence...was to be seen, he said') instead of himself supporting or justifying the claim. The constant repetition of phrases like 'he said' or 'he added' clearly reveals that the author is suspicious about the claim made regarding this theory. This dubiousness is justified when the author denies commenting upon this('Such opinions need no comment...'I'll make none'). Thus, option B is the correct answer

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
