Answer:

The statement that best describes the effect of narration is: "The narration cultivates dread about Usher's mental demise."

Explanation:

The narration came from the Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe and it can be seen that the narration shows that the mental state of Usher at that point in the short story was at a dreadful point. Despite the fact that the person in the narration touched Usher, he acted as though he was unaware of the individual's presence, but instead gave a sickly smile and began to talk gibberish.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The narration cultivates dread about Usher’s mental demise.
