I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eyelike windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul, which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?

1. The author's purpose in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is C. to describe the great fall of the house of Usher.

2. The poetic device ably applied in the sentence is C. consonance.

Using consonance involves the literary repetition of identical or similar consonants in words with different vowel sounds. Consonance is the opposite of assonance. Thus, it is not onomatopoeia, metaphor, or internal rhyme.

3. After analyzing the style of the excerpt above, the most likely author is D. Edgar, Allan Poe's style.

Edgar Allan Poe's poetic style features enormous use of figurative expressions.  For example, he used the short story, which he described as the Fall of the House of Usher, to illustrate his own dissipating life, marked by alcoholic frivolities and despair.

Thus, Edgar Allan Poe (1839) wrote this excerpt in his classic short story titled "The Fall of the House of Usher."
