Shall be lifted-nevermore!

A chamber is just a room. Re-think #14.
What is a metaphor in the first place?
I agree with you on #16.

Nah, 15 is D, Never more, as it adds the sense that death, the ultimate end is lurking, and life is at its end.

I meant 14, not 15

I agree with Lazerus, the answer to number 14 is D not B. For example, when you think of the word dreaming there is not a hint of despair that you picture in your mind to that word. When you think of the word chamber, you only think of a bed or bedroom which does not bring despain either. When you think of the word shadow you do not think of the word despair either, better yet you think of fear. When you think of the word nevermore you think of despair because the definition of nevermore is "At no future time;Never again." This can bring thoughts of pain, anger and despair.
